Judd Apatow's new film collaboration with Comedy Central star Amy Schumer, Trainwreck, has added a whole slew of talent to its cast this week. Names from the comedic spectrum like Bill Hader, Vanessa Bayer, Mike Birbiglia, and Jon Glaser might not be a surprise, but other stars stand out a bit more. One of those names is John Cena of WWE fame.

While most of us know Cena as the 11-time WWE Champion, he has an acting background as well. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "He's made appearances in a few films, including Camp Fred, The Reunion and Legendary and appeared on TV's Psych."

We're certainly excited to see how Cena's talents are utilized in Trainwreck. What do you think?

Other stars joining the cast include Ezra Miller (Perks of Being a Wallflower), Brie Larson, Oscar nominee Barkhad Abdi, Colin Quinn and Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton.

Slashfilm has a synopsis of the film's cast:

Trainwreck follows "a basket case who tries to rebuild her life." That part'll go to Schumer while Hader will play the best friend/boyfriend type role. Who all the other actors mentioned play is anyone's guess. It's a classic, eclectic, Apatow cast, combining some heavy hitters, up and coming comedic stars and a wild card or two. Almost every Apatow film has an ensemble like this.

This is one of the most anticipated comedies of next year, hitting theaters on July 24, 2015. Do these comedic and interesting casting updates add to the anticipation? Share your opinion in the comments section below!
