John Cena introduces new Ferdinand trailer

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

First The Rock with MOANA, then practically the entire WWE roster for SURF'S UP 2, now John Cena is going solo with the CG-animated feature FERDINAND. Based on the 1936 children's book THE STORY OF FERDINAND, the film is about "a Spanish Fighting Bull who prefers smelling the flowers and practicing non-violence rather than chasing red cloths held by matadors in arenas. But when disaster comes to him, he is taken to a fighting stadium like every bull in Spain, and Ferdinand needs to decide if he is a fighting bull or a flower smelling, generous bull, in order to earn his freedom."

After watching the trailer above, I know I won't enjoy this. However, I also can't deny that Cena has some charm as the titular character, and it seems like it'll have a good moral for kids at the center of it, with some fun slapstick to keep the little shits entertained for a couple hours. I just personally tune out when I see CG-animated characters dancing to pop tunes for no reason. So sue me.

Meanwhile FERDINAND will charge into theaters December 15th.
