Drew McIntyre has an acting role lined up, just days after making his WWE return following a hiatus after taking time off after WrestleMania 39.
McIntyre returned to take out Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER at Money in the Bank.
As previously reported, McIntyre is slated to miss next week’s episode of Raw for a filming project, which has now been revealed.
Pwinsider reports McIntyre will be starring in an action film titled ‘The Killer’s Game’. The movie stars Dave Bautista and Ice Cube. Here is the synopsis, courtesy of Deadline:
“Based on Jay Bonansinga’s novel, the film is written by Rand Ravich and Simon Kinberg, with recent rewrites by James Coyne. The film follows veteran assassin Joe Flood (Bautista), who is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and authorizes a kill on himself to avoid the pain that is destined to follow. After ordering the kill, he finds out that he was misdiagnosed and must then fend off the army of former colleagues trying to kill him.”
McIntyre is expected to challenge GUNTHER for the IC Title at SummerSlam next month.
