So who does Roman Reigns play in the movie Rumble?

Roman Reigns plays the character Ramarilla Jackson, who is a gorilla-like monster in the movie.

Terry Crews, who also stars in the movie as Tentacular, spoke about working on the movie with WWE:

"I've done some things with the WWE in regards to promotion... I love what it stands for. It's weird and wonderful at the same time because you notice every generation has its heroes -- from Hulk Hogan to the Rock. Now in this movie, there's Roman Reigns, who's the biggest wrestler on Earth. I'm a big fan of Roman, and I'm glad I got a chance to work with him, even in this capacity." (h/t CBR)

The film was set to be produced a couple of years ago before the Covid-19 pandemic struck. It was also set to be released in theaters, but is now being released on Paramount+ for the holiday season.
