John Cena Lands Surprise Role as a Merman in 'Barbie' After Chance Meeting With Margot Robbie

John Cena will play a merman in the upcoming live-action Barbie film after pitching himself to star Margot Robbie on the set of Fast X.
Cena had previously auditioned for a role in Barbie but was rejected before his encounter with Robbie led to his casting.
In addition to Cena and Robbie, Barbie features an ensemble cast including Ryan Gosling, Dua Lipa, and Greta Gerwig.
Cena stars alongside Vin Diesel in Fast X, the latest installment in the Fast and the Furious franchise, which releases the same week as Barbie.
Cena has transitioned from a career in professional wrestling to one as an actor known for comedic roles in films like the Daddy's Home movies and Blockers.
