I don't know who is responsible for casting John Cena as the gentle bull Ferdinand, but that person is MAGIC. The animated film from 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios has a new trailer that includes an intro from Cena himself, and his face just makes me happy.
You may already know the gist -- gentle bull is sold, faces off against a bull fighter, makes new friends, and finds himself -- but Cena is doing a lot to sell this thing. Check out the new trailer below:
Ferdinand comes out on December 15, 2017, and it's pretty clear that 20th Century Fox is hyping this hard -- hoping that it will be a massive family release. But it's facing pretty stiff competition from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which we all know, despite its PG-13 rating, is something parents will be taking their children and tweens to. It will be interesting to watch whether Ferdinand carves out a niche for itself, and I can see Cena's charm being a major part of the continued ad campaign to come.
