The American Nightmare is considering branching out into acting.
Cody has been one of the best wrestlers in the world for quite some time now, winning championships all over the world before returning to WWE as the Prodigal Son. He is currently positioned as the top babyface in the company. At WrestleMania 39 however, he would not Finish The Story, losing to Roman Reigns in the main event. Now, he has other distractions.
Fightful Select now reports that Cody has been considering acting in several roles.
Sources familiar with the situation claim that the WWE WrestleMania main eventer made the most of this time in Los Angeles and had some meetings regarding potential roles in film and television. There was discussion of him being linked or particularly interested in the Johnny Cage role in an upcoming Mortal Kombat movie, which The Miz has also been angling for. There was also discussion regarding a connection to a potential upcoming Zelda film. Even prior to WWE, Rhodes had good connections to the TV and movie realm outside of wrestling. Cody Rhodes appeared on seven episodes of Arrow with Stephen Amell, as well as an episode of Warehouse 13. In addition, he’s appeared Go Big Show, Rhodes to the Top and WAGS Atlanta.
