Roman Reigns Confirms Hollywood Plans After WWE Career

Roman Reigns has confirmed his intentions to pursue an acting career in Hollywood once his time in WWE comes to an end. The WWE superstar shared his post-wrestling plans during a recent interview with Vanity Fair, outlining a timeline for his transition away from the ring.

According to Reigns, his current WWE contract expires following WrestleMania 42 in 2025, though he plans to continue wrestling for approximately one to two years beyond that point. His focus will then shift toward what he described as “entertainment less physical” than professional wrestling.

I want to almost model this like Tarantino, where we’re not just doing anything. I want to really plan: I want this role, I want that.

Reigns is no stranger to film work, having previously appeared in “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” alongside Dwayne Johnson. His next confirmed acting project is the Amazon MGM Studios film “The Pickup,” which features Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson among its cast. Details regarding his specific role remain undisclosed.

Film director Tim Story offered significant praise for Reigns’ acting potential, stating:

He probably shows as much charisma as I’ve ever seen from a celebrity or non-actor. I think his future in front of the camera is going to be amazing.
