About this listen
Kevin Hart has remained front and center in entertainment headlines these past few days with a whirlwind of activity across film, live performance, and social media. The biggest news: Hart is set to co-star and co-produce a major new Netflix action-comedy film alongside John Cena. According to Deadline and IMDb, the project, called The Leading Man, is based on the comic book series by Jeremy Haun and B. Clay Moore. Writers Jon and Erich Hoeber pitched the concept, which blends Hollywood satire and espionage. In this film, Hart will play an actual secret agent masquerading as an actor, upending the vanity of Cena’s self-absorbed movie star as they team up to save the world. While it’s still early in development, the announcement alone is a biographical milestone for Hart, confirming his continued clout as both actor and producer. It’s also another major effort under his Hartbeat company’s multi-film deal with Netflix.
Beyond his screen projects, Hart’s live comedy calendar has faced turbulence. AOL reports that his “Acting My Age” tour remains plagued by postponements and cancellations. His Columbus show at the Schottenstein Center, originally set for May, was rescheduled to September and now pushed out again to October 18. All prior tickets remain valid, but the repeat delays—coupled with canceled shows in Michigan and Arizona—leave fans speculating about the reasons, as no official explanation has been shared. Though frustrating, the persistence of demand for Hart’s live act highlights his enduring appeal.
In international news, Hart’s star continues to rise with a confirmed headline date at the prestigious Riyadh Season 2025 comedy festival, joining icons like Dave Chappelle and Russell Peters. As reported by The National, Hart is scheduled for a September 28 appearance in Saudi Arabia, placing him squarely in the company of global comedy luminaries and expanding his international reach.
Meanwhile, Hart’s pure comedic energy was on full display in a viral social media moment that swept through platforms this week. Sexyy Red, the rising rap star, posted a backstage video on X that triggered a flurry of laughs online. The clip, covered by outlets like HotNewHipHop and Tribune, features Hart sharing playful banter about their “relationship drama” before being humorously surprised by Red’s height as she towers over him—a running gag in much of Hart’s stand-up. Fans and followers applauded the chemistry and quick wit, cementing Hart’s reputation for spontaneous, relatable humor in the digital age.
On set, Hart was seen signing autographs for fans while filming Fight Night, as shared by the sports Instagram community. Such public gestures reflect his accessibility and ongoing connection to his audience.
To sum up, Kevin Hart’s signature blend of wide-ranging creative ambition and viral, everyday humor has kept him indelibly present in culture and media this week. From high-profile Netflix projects and international festival bookings to headline-making viral exchanges and fan interaction, Hart continues to push boundaries as a performer, producer, and public figure.
