WWE star Liv Morgan appears poised for a major leap into Hollywood, with a significant dramatic film role reportedly secured, according to PWInsiderElite.com. An official announcement regarding Morgan’s participation in the undisclosed major studio project is expected sometime next week. Morgan herself seemed to allude to the project and a need for schedule flexibility during her appearance on WWE Raw last night, April 28th.
Sources familiar with the project have indicated to PWInsider.com that this is not a superhero film (specifically ruling out Avengers: Doomsday, which recently began filming) but rather a substantial dramatic part. One source described Morgan landing the role as “one of the most impressive ‘gets’ imaginable,” suggesting the project boasts high-caliber talent both in front of and behind the camera and comes with significant prestige. Another contact indicated the opportunity “could cement” Morgan as Hollywood’s next breakout star if the film achieves its internal projections. The project has drawn comparisons to critically acclaimed films such as Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Raid, and recent Cannes Palme d’Or winner Anora.
Despite the magnitude of the film role, fans concerned about Morgan taking an extended leave from WWE may be reassured by the reported scheduling approach. Now represented by Paradigm Talent Agency – which also handles CM Punk and Drew McIntyre – the plan mirrors how Punk filmed TV and movie projects last year without missing major WWE appearances. PWInsider states that WWE, the film studio, Paradigm, and Morgan are collaborating closely to coordinate schedules, aiming to maintain WWE storyline continuity while accommodating the filming. This collaborative effort, focused on expanding WWE’s stars into broader entertainment rather than creating conflict, marks a shift from past eras where stars like Roddy Piper had to step away entirely to film movies like They Live.
The report also suggests that Drew McIntyre, another Paradigm client and the recently announced new face of Project Rock, might be the next WWE talent in line for a similar large-scale film or television opportunity, following in the footsteps of Punk and now, seemingly, Liv Morgan.
