Warner Bros. Pictures has released a new trailer along with a slew of character posters for Barbie, the Greta Gerwig-directed film based on the popular Mattel doll. While the promotional materials provide a good look at the movie along with many of its characters, consisting of different versions of Barbie and Ken, there was another interesting reveal that eagle-eyed viewers also noticed. The credits featured in the trailer show the name John Cena, revealing that he’s a part of the cast. This hadn’t been previously announced by the studio or Cena.

However, Cena is noticeably absent from the trailer itself, so his role remains a mystery at this time. Given what is shown in the trailer, however, it seems possible that Cena could be featured as another version of Ken, though that remains to be seen. It’s worth noting that he was also absent from the series of character posters released by the studio that introduces the film’s “Barbies and Kens.” That could be interpreted as Cena having a role in the film that is not one of the Kens, but all we can do for now is speculate.

The character posters reveal Margot Robbie’s Barbie alongside Ryan Gosling’s Ken, with the two leading the cast of Barbies and Kens. Other stars playing versions of Barbie include Issa Rae, Emma Mackey, Hari Nef, Ana Cruz Kayne, Dua Lipa, Alexandra Shipp, Rita Aryu, Kate McKinnon, Nicola Coughlan. Meanwhile, Michael Cera will play a character named Allan, while other Kens include Ncuti Gatwa, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Scott Evans, and Simu Liu. Those playing “human” characters include America Ferrera, Helen Mirren, Ariana Greenblatt, Will Ferrell, Connor Swindells, and Jamie Demetriou.

Her role in the film is her character’s love interest – WWE wrestler John Cena. He will play a merman opposite her, despite being 19 years her senior.

A source said: “Dua has been in London filming for the Barbie film and has really thrown herself into it.

“She is playing a beautiful mermaid and has been having fun with the role and made it her own.”

“There are going to be loads of special effects added afterwards to make her character look as good as possible on screen, so filming it has been a bit weird.”
