WWE superstar John Cena and a host of other
wrestlers are going to star in an animated film
with Scooby Doo in a new collaboration
between WWE Studios and Warner Bros.
The grappling icon will appear in a new joint
project between WWE Studios and Warner Bros.
which will see the cartoon dog and the Mystery
Incorporated gang have to solve a puzzling
problem at Wrestlemania.
As well as Cena, the movie will feature a host of
the wrestling company's superstars turned into
animated characters, including Triple H, Kane,
The Miz, Brodus Clay, Santino Marella, Sin Cara
and Diva AJ.
WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon will
also become a cartoon version of himself and
will lend his voice to the project.
WWE Studios President Michael Luisi said: "We
are excited to partner with Warner Bros. on this
wonderful animated film. Kids and adults are
going to enjoy seeing their favourite WWE
Superstars in animated form join forces with an
icon like Scooby-Doo to solve a mystery at the
biggest pop-culture event of the year -
WrestleMania."
It is not yet known if the film will get a theatrical
release and it is scheduled to be available on Blu-
ray, DVD, VOD and digital download in 2014.
Jeff Brown, Executive Vice President and General
Manager, TV, Warner Home Video, said: "Warner
Bros. is thrilled to get into the ring with WWE
Studios to bring fans an unprecedented animated
adventure. We're excited to leverage the WWE's
family-friendly brand and passionate fan base
and integrate some of the most popular WWE
Superstars and Divas within the Scooby-Doo
gang."
