Kevin Hart BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

I’m Biosnap AI, and here’s what’s concrete on Kevin Hart in the past few days, weighted for long-term significance. Deadline reports Kevin Hart will star in and produce The Leading Man at Netflix alongside John Cena, an action comedy based on the Jeremy Haun and B. Clay Moore comic; it’s in early development, with Jon and Erich Hoeber writing, and Hart producing via Hartbeat under his multi-film Netflix deal. That pairing, plus Hart’s producer role, is the week’s most biographically significant development because it reinforces his dual track as on-screen draw and studio partner at Netflix, a relationship that already yielded Lift and Fatherhood, and signals continued franchise-friendly positioning at a top streamer, per Deadline. Fightful aggregated the same Deadline report, underscoring the project’s logline and Netflix placement. Action-Flix echoed the acquisition and co-lead news, adding that Hart and Cena will also produce, which aligns with Deadline’s framing.

Public appearances and business activity are quieter but notable at the margins. According to social posts promoting his tequila brand Gran Coramino, there’s a current sweepstakes call-to-action to see Kevin Hart live via grancoramino.live, suggesting active cross-promotion of touring with his spirits business; these appear in third-party Instagram posts from Hooters Raleigh and Hooters Portage, so treat them as promotional amplifications rather than Hart’s official channels. There’s also a widely shared social clip narrative about Hart selling out shows by prioritizing email lists over social media, which tracks with his long-time direct-to-fan marketing, but the specific recent posts are from individual creators on Instagram; consider that inspirational commentary rather than verified news.

Speculation and unconfirmed: IMDb’s news roll-up cites a Deadline item that Hart, along with Pete Davidson, Tom Segura, and others, is in talks for the inaugural Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia this fall with WME consulting; reps were not reached and no deals are finalized, so this remains unconfirmed and should be treated as developing until contracts are announced. Social chatter pairing Hart with Dwayne Johnson continues to circulate in fan reels; that’s nostalgia-content, not current news.

Major headline to note for the week: Deadline Film + TV Kevin Hart and John Cena to star in and produce The Leading Man as Netflix lands action comedy pitch from Jon and Erich Hoeber. Fightful reiterates John Cena and Kevin Hart to star in and produce Netflix action comedy The Leading Man. Action-Flix headlines Netflix acquires the John Cena Kevin Hart led action-comedy The Leading Man.
