Drew McIntyre, the powerhouse of WWE, seems to be dropping hints about his potential venture into Hollywood. The Scottish wrestler recently sparked speculation about his Hollywood ambitions after sharing a video on social media from his appearance on the Read The Room sketch show. McIntyre's tweet, accompanying the video, hinted at a possible move to disrupt the entertainment industry in Hollywood.
Drew McIntyre teases his Hollywood debut
In the video shared by McIntyre, he humorously portrayed a scene reminiscent of the movie Braveheart, where he rallied troops for battle while a comedic duo at the back deliberated on whether to join the cause with their humorous remarks. His tweet alongside the video further fueled speculation about his Hollywood aspirations, stating, "I might head to Hollywood and disrupt their industry."
The buzz around McIntyre’s Hollywood debut gained its peak last year when the superstar confirmed shooting alongside Dave Bautista for his upcoming role in the action comedy film The Killer's Game. The film, based on Jay Bonansinga's novel, follows the story of an assassin diagnosed with a life-threatening illness who authorizes a kill on himself, only to discover he was misdiagnosed. McIntyre's involvement in this project marks his debut in feature films and presents an exciting opportunity for him to showcase his acting chops alongside industry veterans like Bautista.
Speaking about his role in The Killer's Game during an interview with Crash & AJ, McIntyre expressed enthusiasm about his foray into acting and the opportunity to work alongside Bautista, revealing, “Maybe…I’ve never wanted to do anything but WWE and wrestle. I don’t know if I so much have my eye on it or if it has its eye on me. Opportunities keep coming my way, which is cool. I love stepping outside my comfort zone and growing my brand, which in turn draws more eyes to WWE. Recently, I was in a few projects going on.”
“I had a chance to be in…Dave Bautista has a movie coming out, I don’t know, sometime next year, I’ll be featured in that as well in a more prominent role. That was fun to do. The opportunities seem to be finding me rather than me finding them. We’ll see what the future holds,” he added.

In terms of his wrestling career, McIntyre's dedication to the sport remains unwavering. He revealed his intention to continue wrestling for as long as his body allows. “As long as my body will allow, as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been doing it for 22 years now.
