>Asked if Coyote vs. Acme’s difficult journey has changed the way he sees the movie business, Cena admits, “My answer’s not the common one, but no.”

>“I am hired by an employer to do a task, and it’s my job to prepare as much as I can, be early, be coachable, be passionate, and be reliable,” he explains. “I do that and hope for the best. Those expectations are beyond my control, so it doesn’t make me view the business any differently. Keep in mind, it is the movie business.”

>“Sometimes, business decisions are things that we don’t see through the same lens,” he says. “Of course, I want my work seen by an audience. That’s how I can accept both the positive and the negative and get better as a performer. But I don’t own my performance. I’m contracted to do a job, and the person who owns it gets to decide what happens with it.”

>Cena compares the situation to building a custom car for a private collector. “I can put my heart and soul into it, 2,000 hours worth of craftsmanship on this thing, and you take the keys and put it in your garage for no one to see. You own it; you can do whatever you want with it.”

>When he looks back on the experience, Cena says, “Even if the movie never saw the light of day, the takeaway I have is that, with the things within my control, I got to be there on the ground with people who made me better and people I care about, and I got to do the thing.”

>Cena calls the film’s upcoming release “a testament to the audience,” who “kept this in the conversation for four years.” He adds, “I think that’s fantastic, and I can’t wait to hear the positive and the negative that’s going to come out of it. I always love good critique of my work. People are creative with their curse words.”
