Former Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has always been known for his larger-than-life persona and incredible in-ring skills. But now, the wrestler-turned-actor has set his sights on a new challenge – taking on an iconic character in a potential video game adaptation.
In a recent interview, Rhodes revealed his dream movie role and it’s one that has fans buzzing with excitement. The former WWE star expressed his desire to play the lead role in a video game adaptation of the popular game franchise, Assassin’s Creed.
Rhodes, who has been a fan of the game series for years, shared his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “I’ve always been a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed games and I think it would be a dream come true to bring one of those characters to life on the big screen.”
The Assassin’s Creed franchise, which has sold over 155 million copies worldwide, follows the story of a secret society of assassins who fight against the Templars throughout history. The games are known for their intricate storylines, stunning visuals, and intense action sequences – all of which would be a perfect fit for Rhodes’ skills as a performer.
The wrestler-turned-actor also revealed that he has been actively pursuing the role, even going as far as to pitch his idea to the game’s developers, Ubisoft. “I’ve been in talks with Ubisoft and I’ve shared my vision for the character and the story. I’m really hoping they see the potential in this project and give me the opportunity to bring it to life,” Rhodes shared.
Fans of both Rhodes and the Assassin’s Creed franchise have been quick to show their support for the potential collaboration. Many have taken to social media to express their excitement and to share their own ideas for the project.
Rhodes, who has been making a name for himself in Hollywood with roles in popular TV shows and movies, has proven his acting chops time and time again. His charisma and natural athleticism make him a perfect fit for the action-packed world of Assassin’s Creed.
If given the opportunity, Rhodes would join the ranks of other WWE superstars who have successfully transitioned into the world of acting, such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena. And with his passion for the project and determination to bring the character to life, there’s no doubt that Rhodes would do justice to the iconic role.
While there is no official confirmation yet on whether the project will come to fruition, Rhodes remains optimistic and continues to work towards making his dream a reality. In the meantime, fans can catch him in his upcoming projects, including the highly anticipated TV series, Heels, where he plays a wrestler struggling to keep his family’s wrestling promotion afloat.
Rhodes’ dream movie role has certainly caught the attention of fans and industry insiders alike. And with his talent and dedication, there’s no doubt that he would make an incredible addition to the Assassin’s Creed franchise. We can only hope that his dream becomes a reality and we get to see him bring the iconic character to life on the big screen.
