Cena will be voicing the role of Rocksteady, one of Shredder's henchmen. The wrestler-turned-actor has been keeping busy lately, with appearances at WrestleMania 39 and a variety of film and TV projects in the works. But fans are especially excited to see him join the Turtles universe.
Cena isn't the only big name attached to Mutant Mayhem. Seth Rogen will be voicing Bebop, Rocksteady's longtime ally, and other notable actors like Giancarlo Esposito, Ice Cube, Maya Rudolph, and Jackie Chan will also be playing key roles in the film.
"In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, after years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O'Neil helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them."
While the absence of Shredder in the cast announcement has raised some questions, fans are still buzzing with excitement over the upcoming film. With such an impressive voice cast, it's sure to be a hit with fans old and new alike.
