NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
After the surprise reveal of John Cena being named among the Barbie movie’s cast back when the trailer dropped in April, we now have our first glimpse of him in character – and you’ll need to prepare yourself.
The former wrestler turned Hollywood star is part of an absolutely stacked cast in Barbie, led by Margot Robbie as the iconic doll and Ryan Gosling as her boyfriend/accessory Ken struggling with his place as number two.
The film is also rounded out by the likes of other Barbies played by Emma Mackey (Nobel Prize in physics-holder Barbie), Issa Rae (President Barbie), Sharon Rooney (Lawyer Barbie) and Nicola Coughlan (Diplomat Barbie), as well as Kens courtesy of Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir and Ncuti Gatwa.
Singer Dua Lipa is also appearing as the majestically blue-haired Mermaid Barbie, as well as providing the film’s theme song, Dance The Night.
