John Cena and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson are not the first wrestlers to become movie stars, but they have made the most successful transition from the squared circle to the big screen. Since the professional wrestling world has no shortage of performers with unmatched athleticism and huge personalities, it’s time to make some new movie stars. Let’s take a look at the Black wrestlers who are ready to make the dive into Hollywood stardom.
Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford are a non-stop party. They’re the kind of guys who you would want to run into during a road trip comedy. They could also be the comedic relief in an action movie, similar to Brian Tyree Henry and Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Bullet Train.
Unmatched athleticism, star presence and an emotional connection with the audience. Bianca is an undeniable star.
Swerve has a supervillain quality that you can’t learn. He would actually make you root against the hero.
Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E could all absolutely be movie stars separately, but when they’re together, they have something magical.
