John Cena has been adding new parts to his acting portfolio. His earlier appearances tended to be in action-oriented films because of his physical attributes and contributions to the wrestling profession. The Cenation Leader began playing comic parts and has appeared in notable films as a cameo. John Cena began his acting career in 2006 with the WWE Studios film series “The Marine.”
Additionally, he will make a cameo appearance in the next $100 Million “Barbie” movie starring Margot Robbie, a former co-star. According to reports, the former WWE Champion would play a Merman Ken alongside Dua Lipa. On July 21, Barbie is scheduled for release.

Given the subject matter of the film and the WWE legend’s many roles, it’s possible that he has the right appearance for the part.

Looks like fans are loving Cena’s ‘Kenmaid’ look. He played The Peacemaker, a superhero, in 2021; this led to the start of a series with the same name the following year. He also played Jakob Toretto in Fast X and provided the voice of Rocksteady in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem this year.

When asked how he landed the part, Cena said that while he had been attempting to get into the movie, Robbie was ultimately responsible for getting him the job. At the time, Robbie, who he claimed makes a lot of the decisions in the casting process, was serendipitously accidental run-in with him while filming for his next film Fast X took place across the street from Barbie.
