James Gunn has joined thousands of WWE fans everywhere in wishing John Cena the very best on his 44th birthday. While Cena is best known as one of the most popular pro wrestlers of the past 20 years, he has gotten more into acting in recent years with major roles in popular franchises. With Gunn at the helm, Cena will be appearing in The Suicide Squad this year before branching out to star in his own Peacemakerseries led by Gunn for HBO Max.

Currently, Peacemaker is in the midst of shooting with seven episodes already in the can. Looking to do Cena a solid for his birthday, here's what Gunn said about the WWE Superstar on Twitter.

"Happy Birthday to my friend & creative partner on the #Peacemaker journey, @JohnCena. In episode 8, which we are about to start filming, you have a scene in which you will be eating. Props just asked me what food &, for your birthday, I told them empanadas. Happy Birthday, pal."

James Gunn is just one of many people online wishing Cena a happy 44th birthday. Of course, there are wrestling fans everywhere sending him birthday wishes, with many of those fans growing up with Cena as a personal hero. One tweet reads: "Just a reminder that John Cena has fulfilled over 600 wishes for the Make-A-Wish foundation. He deserves all the birthday wishes, an absolute top tier human."

"Happy 44th Birthday to the one and only John Cena," tweets another fan. "I have stuck by this man since I was a kid, and I always will. He was my childhood and he made it special. I love you man."

Another tweet states: "Happy birthday to one of my favorite people ever, @JohnCena !! Thank you for giving me some of the best memories of my life and all you've done for countless others over the years!"
