As of this writing, there is little information about the movie and its crew. In a recent interview with Wrestling Inc., CJ Perry opened up about her role in the project.
“I also have a movie coming out with Paramount. I can’t give all the details yet, but I’m playing an assassin. And I’m super excited because I’m one of the lead assassins in it. It’s definitely a cool departure from WWE where I was always in pink and getting my a** whooped. There I’m whooping all these big men’s a**es, and I’m in black. And it’s actually, the character was inspired from [sic] The Undertaker,” she said.
With her Hollywood outings, Perry has joined a growing list of professional wrestlers who have acted in notable movies. WWE Superstars like Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson, John Cena, Hulk Hogan, and others have enjoyed much success in their acting careers.
