Drew McIntyre has not been seen in WWE since Losing to Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 42although he recently posted a workout videoperhaps signaling that he would be back to square one soon. While McIntyre was away, he was busy filming the Highlander reboot with Henry Cavill. He will also play The Last Druid with Russell Crowe and voiced the character in the animated film Hexed. In September 2024, he appeared alongside Dave Bautista in The Killer’s Game.
During the interview CNN:McIntyre said that while he remains booked and busy in Hollywood, that was never the plan. He always wanted to be a wrestler, and making movies didn’t even cross his mind until he got a phone call from Bautista asking him to be in “The Killer Game.”
“He grew up around me. He knows my personality. We are friends. He said: “I think you’re going to be really good in this world, and I want you to try this because I think this could be a future option for you,” McIntyre explained.
He did not chase film roles and everything was organic. While Hollywood came to him, he wasn’t done with WWE.
“You know, WWE is my home and I appreciate Nick Khan and Triple H letting me go out and explore this world and hopefully it’s good for both worlds. But when the time is right, Hollywood Drew will be back. But the timing isn’t right, not quite yet. But I’m glad that “Agent of Shadows”the two worlds were able to collide and we have so many of our Superstars and Legends in that project.”
