After starring in the new Street Fighter movie, WWE Superstar Roman Reigns knows what he would love to do next in his acting career.
During an interview with Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe, the “Tribal Chief” explained his hunger for more acting gigs. He hasn't passed on anything he feels “deeply regretful” about, but he frequently looks at other projects he believes he would excel in.
One universe he would love to join is Game of Thrones. While the original series is over, there are spin-offs, and he appears down to join that world.

“I don't know if this is a real thing—I see it online all the time—Game of Thrones, Aegon's Conquest, I mean, to be a part of that, you know, that would be really cool to be a part of a big story with such a fanbase.”
He looks at roles with leading men who are “bada*ses” and “saving the world.” So, Hollywood should take note while considering him for parts.
WWE and Street Fighter star Roman Reigns' acting career
The “Tribal Chief” has been venturing into acting for years. He appeared in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw in 2019, which was led by another member of the Anoa'i family, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He played Matteo Hobbs in it.
The following year, he appeared in The Wrong Missy, playing Gary. Reigns then played an MMA fighter in The Pickup before voicing one of the Zebros. The other Zebro was voiced by his WWE rival, CM Punk.
Street Fighter is his most prominent role to date. The “Tribal Chief” plays Akuma in the video game adaptation. His old WWE rival, Cody Rhodes, also stars in it as Guile. Street Fighter, which was directed by Kitao Sakurai, also stars Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, David Dastmalchian, Andrew Schulz, and Eric André.
