Considering we haven't had a new game in the series in over 15 years, we appreciate that the following question is a load of nonsense, but were we ever to receive a live-action F-Zero movie, who would you want to take the lead role?
We can think of a fair few candidates who might be able to pull off the 'Falcon Pawwwnch' line, but Instagram artist jackson_caspersz has taken things one step further by drawing up the wonderful piece you see below.
Presenting wrestling star and TV presenter John Cena as Captain Falcon (scroll through to see more images).
Makes sense, right?
The piece is actually part of a collection of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate-inspired artworks. Caspersz has uploaded a number of similar designs, including this one of our favourite plumbers.
It reminds us of the amazing, realistic Smash Ultimate drawings from God of War art director, Raf Grassetti. If you haven't seen those yet, we'd urge you to take a look.
So, John Cena as Captain Falcon? Do you have any better ideas? Fire away in the comments below.

Obviously clocked Adam Driver as Luigi, but who's portraying Mario here? Lack of sleep / coffee may be affecting my judgement ha
Can you repost the picture of John Cena? For some reason, I can't see him
Mario and Luigi being so fit is... weird lol
@sikthvash
Joe Manganiello, I think

Stuff like this is fun. A live action version of F-Zero could work as a film (never going to happen due to the budget required for a sci-fi film and apparent lack of interest in the series by the general public) but Mario needs to stay as a cartoon character.
@ThatGiloFella Oh wow, good shout!
Yes, and then now Captain Falcon has gained wrestling moves. FALCON GRABBB!
I wouldn't mind seeing it if it ever does happen but all I really want is a new F-Zero game, don't know why Nintendo doesn't bring back the franchise.
Lol he looks like thanos in that outfit!
F-Zeeeerooooo... breaks down and cries... Though with Pokémon getting a new version for Snap anything is possible... I even take a remaster of the best F-Zero there is, F-Zero GX!
Captain Falcon - Love it! Awesome work!
Mario & Luigi - nah sorry that's not what they're about, it doesn't work for me.
Dear Nintendo Life,
Please don't put a click bait title like 'John Cena as Captain Falcon' and then proceed to just put a blank photograph on your page. It's not funny.
"www.instagram.com refused to connect."
Well, you already got my tasty click, so I guess it's a moot point now.
Well I'll be damned! I never thought about F-Zero in live action. But now, I would love to see F-Zero adapted into a movie or better yet, a 10 episode series chronicling a specific year in F-Zero racing. Obviously told from Captain Falcon's POV.
@GrailUK @TheBigK loads fine for us (on all devices), maybe Instagram is having an issue in your locale at the moment, direct link anyway: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBic1H2JOr0/?utm_source=ig_embed
Captain Falcon: "You can't see me I'm so far ahead of you!"
An F-Zero movie would be absolutely epic.
Anyone else getting Judge Dredd vibes from this?
I’m sorry, I just can’t see it
... 🙄😜
@antdickens Oh no! I'm sorry Ant. It was a silly joke. John 'You can't see me' Cena. I'll...err...I'll see myself out.
Thank you for the trouble of the direct link too. (Sorry)
A much better concept than that GoW artwork, imo.
@GrailUK LOL, okay... I don't know the reference, nevermind!
@antdickens Well, I'm not the only one who couldn't resist the joke, so don't feel like you have an IT crisis on your hands haha. Have a great day. (really sorry for bothering you again)
Can’t see him either, and yet I still know he wins the race with a falcon knuckle shuffle and an altitude adjustment right square in the middle of the track.
