The Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre is set to share the Cinema screen along with former WWE Superstar Dave Bautista. The movie is titled The Killer’s Game.
Recently, while speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, Drew McIntyre shared if he would pursue an acting career following The Killer’s Game.
“We’ll see. It’s just a fun journey as far as I’m concerned. All I ever wanted to be was a wrestler since I was five years old. Very lucky to get signed straight from university. Have the journey I’ve had, and if the right opportunity comes up, like the character, you saw it yourself, it wasn’t big bruiser number three, just standing being big and angry. I was like, I’m not gonna do that. Like, thankfully, wrestling provided a living where I can pick and choose what I want to do and I want to wrestle. But I was like, this looks fun, and it was fun. So something comes up like that, I’m gonna do it.”
Drew McIntyre on getting a role in The Killer’s Game
McIntyre also shared the story of how he got a role in The Killer’s Game alongside Bautista.
“He [Bautista] called me and had a pitch. I thought it was just the catch-up, and he mentioned that he’s working on his new movie, The Killer’s Game. Told me a bit of the premise, which I loved. The hitman that takes out the bad guys and is never going to have that happy part of his life. He does what he does, and he finds the right girl and everything’s perfect until it’s not perfect, and he decides to take a hit on himself. We’re not going to ruin it any more than that. But it gets pretty exciting.
“A lot of people come to kill him, including this guy. And then you need some extra characters. The director, J.J. Perry had said, I’ve got this idea for this Scottish brothers, the Mackenzie brothers. I have one of them. The other one, I just want to be, you know, the big, imposing guy that can feasibly and realistically beat you up. I just want them to have these thick Scottish accents and be just wild, kind of drinking party badasses that are somewhat unintelligible because of their thick accents. And Dave basically said, I actually know that guy, he exists. He called me,” Drew McIntyre said.
The Killer’s Game is set to release on the 13th of September.
