What Is Drew McIntyre’s Role in Batista’s New Movie ‘The Killer’s Game’?

Drew McIntyre might no longer get the chance to bash CM Punk and blame the entire WWE Universe for his underwhelming title pursuits as he shifted his focus to something more glamorous lately. A long-teased Holywood debut is looming for the 39-year-old alongside the old hats in the industry, Dave Barista and Ice Cube. The latest action comedy involving The Animal in the lead role came up with its exclusive first’ look and fans could spot the Scotsman in a ‘blink or you will miss it’ moment.

Will McIntyre end up nailing his new endeavor as Rory Mackenzie? Let’s dive deeper into his first-ever big-screen appearance.

Drew Mclntyre’s connection with Dave Batista’s new big-budget The Killer’s Game: Explained

The epic symphony between WWE and cinema has been in the play for ages with well-rounded superstars like John Cena, The Rock, Batista, and many more. The latest one to join the trend is CM Punk’s arch nemesis, Drew Mclntyre. While his mammoth star power, stellar mic skills, and defined physique will certainly give him an edge over his cinematic career, it’s still too early to predict anything about his direction in this glamorous pursuit. However, one thing is sure, McIntyre’s Holywood jump-on didn’t come out of the blue. It was brewing for a while.

A report from July last year spilled that he would head to Hollywood as he’d landed a role in JJ Perry’s latest action comedy thriller, The Killer’s Game. Finally, the trailer is out to let us have a taste of it. As it turns out, Batista, 55, takes on the protagonist role of veteran assassin Joe Flood. The storyline originally based on the book by Jay R. Bonansinga revolves around the assassin with a deadly disease who authorizes a kill on himself.

As the script progresses, he finds out a distinct reality from his perceived illness, leading to a change of mind. The struggles, sufferings, twists, and comedic effects throughout are what make this narrative addictively appealing. Drew Mclntyre himself came up with the trailer on his social media handle and asked fans to buckle up.

However, coming to McIntyre’s role, Rory Mackenzie, not much details have to come to light about the character so far. The movie will hit theatres on September 15th, this year. This glamorous stint coincides with the Scottish Psychopath’s glorious WWE run lately.

Mclntyre is looking to level up in his current WWE stint

Although it has become a norm in the past few months for WWE to deprive Drew Mclntyre of his long-desired title run, they couldn’t dim his light. After a close-fought win over at WrestleMania over Seth Rollins, Damian Priest ruined his festivities by cashing in his MITB and grasping the championship for himself. To add salt to his wounds, the Scotsman also suffered an elbow injury. Despite spending time on the sidelines, Mclntyre continues to target Punk due to costing him the title at the Show of Shows. Nevertheless, the title comes first for the Scotsman and a title match with Priest awaits him at Clash of the Castle on his home turf on June 15th.

We will have to wait to see if the DM Hunk will finally climb to the rank of a world champion from Glasgow, Scotland, ahead of his grand movie release or not. What’s your take on Drew McIntyre’s role in the upcoming comedy thriller The Killer’s game? Let us know in the comments.
