Catch John Cena at Middle East Film & Comic Con

The wrestler-turned-actor is heading to ADNEC Centre on 12 and 13 September as part of the region's biggest pop culture festival. 

If you grew up watching him dominate the WWE ring, you'll have seen that Cena's career has taken more turns than most. He’s gone from being a 17-time WWE World Champion to Hollywood actor, with roles in The Suicide Squad, Fast & Furious, Barbie, Bumblebee and Superman.

He's joining an already stacked MEFCC line-up, alongside One Piece star Mackenyu and Joonas Suotamo, the Finnish actor who played Chewbacca in the Star Wars sequel trilogy and Lurch in Netflix’s Wednesday. 

Head to the Meet the Stars zone for signings, photo opportunities and the chance to get up close with your favourite heroes. There’s plenty more happening around the venue too, from cosplay showcases and celebrity panels to gaming zones and comic book finds. 

More announcements are expected before September, so stay tuned with us.
