According to a report from Fightful, both Charlotte Flair and Liv Morgan were offered roles in the Queen of the Ring film, a project centered on the life of wrestling legend Mildred Burke. While it was previously revealed that WWE pulled Flair from the project—leading to her replacement by Kamille—it appears Morgan faced a similar restriction. Sources have confirmed that Morgan was offered a spot in the movie but was kept from accepting it by WWE.
No Specific Reason Given
The report did not specify exactly why WWE prevented Morgan from participating in the film. While scheduling conflicts are often cited in such situations, no specific reason was provided for the decision to block her involvement. The film has since been released, featuring other notable wrestling names, but Morgan’s potential contribution was left on the cutting room floor due to the company’s decision.
Return To WWE Action
Despite missing out on the movie role, Morgan remains active in both Hollywood and WWE. She recently returned to WWE television at Survivor Series after taking time away to film her role in Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo. In addition to her return to the ring, she was busy promoting the company’s biggest event of the year, having filmed a WrestleMania commercial in New York City just a week before her Survivor Series appearance.
Paradigm Representation
Morgan is now represented by the Paradigm Talent Agency, a move intended to help her secure more opportunities in the entertainment industry. Her role in Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, which she finished filming in May, marks a significant step forward in her acting career. The film is currently slated for a 2026 release, promising to bring the WWE star to a wider audience upon its debut.
Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo is reportedly directed by legendary Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike and features a star-studded cast including Shun Oguri and Lily James. In the film, Morgan is expected to play the role of a politician’s daughter who goes missing, a plot point that drives Oguri’s character’s investigation. The project is described as a “major dramatic role” for the wrestling star, differentiating it from the cameo appearances often made by wrestlers in action films.
