One of the top stars in WWE today has teased more projects in Hollywood to potentially follow the likes of The Rock, John Cena and Dave Bautista in the acting world.
Wrestlers making the jump to Hollywood is nothing new. While the likes of Rock and Bautista have been in leading roles in major blockbusters, others such as Chris Jericho, Edge and Seth Rollins have been in cameo roles in smaller projects.
Having previously starred in the DC series Arrow along with numerous WWE-produced films, Cody Rhodes is set to star in The Naked Gun reboot that will premiere later in the year. Appearing on the Pardon My Take podcast, Rhodes admitted that he has caught the acting bug and may become the next wrestler turned actor:
“I’d love to get out there, there’s some fun projects coming up. I’d love to get out there and tell stories that way for sure and grow. I love pro wrestling, I always will. To get out there, I love what Rock has done, I love what John has done, and Dave Batista as well. All of them have gone different routes when approaching Hollywood and I think I might be next to join the fray in all that.”
Will The Rock Be At WrestleMania 41?
The Final Boss was last seen at Elimination Chamber when he gave the order or John Cena to turn heel and attack Rhodes at the end of the show. However, following Cena’s heel turn, there have been no further appearances from The Great One to further the WrestleMania match between Rhodes and Cena. As the show approaches, an update on The Rock has been provided.
In other news, a current champion in WWE has named Roman Reigns as their dream match.
