Cody Rhodes Gets Honest About His Hollywood Future

Is Cody Rhodes going to pursue more Hollywood projects? Here is what we know.

The current WWE Champion and arguably the face of the company, Cody Rhodes, recently went on a small hiatus to film his role as ‘Guile’ in the upcoming Street Fighter live-action movie. The American Nightmare will also be joined by Roman Reigns in the film as ‘Akuma’.

Recently, speaking with Local 12 in Cincinnati after the October 3rd episode of SmackDown, Rhodes shared his honest thoughts about a future in Hollywood. Not brushing away any potential future chances, he said,

“If those opportunities come up, I love those opportunities. The idea that we can go off and do this, and tell stories in different worlds, meet these new people, and challenge ourselves as storytellers or artists or however you wanna look at a pro-wrestler. “It was very helpful for me to do it. I came back better at wrestling, believe it or not, from being able to go and do that.”

“So I’d like to find my own lane. I’ve watched what The Rock has done, Smashing Machine is – no pun intended – it’s a smash. It’s unbelievable, his work. “Batista, completely different lane, unbelievable work. John Cena and the Peacemaker stuff, it’s gangbusters. “If that’s the route we’re going, I wanna find a different lane, but I’m very grateful for the path that they’ve set and how they’re doing it.”
