However, The Visionary isn't the only WWE star to be a part of the superhero leagues. In the past, a number of notable superstars from the company have been a part of not just the MCU but also of DC.
On this list, we are going to explore four WWE legends who also found a spot in Marvel and DCEU.
#4. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson played Black Adam in the DCEU
The first major wrestler turned actor is possibly The Rock himself. His career in Hollywood began strongly with his roles in The Mummy Returns (2001) and The Scorpion King (2002). Dwayne has since starred in other major franchises, Fast & Furious and Jumanji, just to name a few.
Despite all of his million and billion-dollar projects, one that he has worked on for more than a decade was for DCEU's Black Adam. The film was released last year, and unfortunately, it wasn't met with the most pleasing results. Still, it's definitely a special project for The Great One.
#3. John Cena found success in DCEU as the Peacemaker
John Cena had a slow rise to fame in Hollywood. Although he began taking roles years ago, he landed his most major role in 2018 as part of Bumblebee. He has since appeared in the Fast & Furious franchise and eventually in The Suicide Squad. His role in the DC film, Peacemaker, went well with fans that he got a series named after the titular character.
The series is now being renewed for a season 2, and it's definitely one that many fans are waiting for. As Peacemaker, former WWE Champion was even nominated for MTV's Movie & TV Awards in the Best Comedic Performance, and in the Critics' Choice Super Awards in the category of Best Actor in a Superhero Series.
#2. Batista had one of the most iconic roles in Marvel as Drax the Destroyer
Moving on from DCEU, Dave Bautista (aka Batista) is also one who had a slow rise to fame on the big screen. However, his role as Drax the Destroyer in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy series is one that garnered much praise. The film series has since ended after its third installment, but he also appeared in various Avengers movies.
His role as Drax showcased just how diverse the WWE legend's acting skills are. Especially after he also played a much different character in 2022's Glass Onion, 2020's My Spy, and even in 2021's Army of the Dead.
#1. WWE Head of Creative Triple H had a role in the MCU as a vampire
One WWE legend that many fans may have forgotten who were not aware of their presence in the MCU is Triple H. Despite his well-known name in the sport, he only had a few acting projects throughout the years. However, he made sure to make his acting debut a big one by debuting in Marvel's Blade: Trinity (2004).
The aforementioned movie was the third and final installment in the Blade trilogy and saw the WWE Hall of Famer portray Jarko Grimwood. He shared the screen with the likes of Ryan Reynolds and even Jessica Biel.
