Exclusive: AEW’s Chris Jericho Set to Star in Blockbuster Horror Action Film-Must-Watch Buzz!
The Hunter, The Werewolf, and The Wrestling Legend: Chris Jericho’s Hollywood Takeover
Grab your popcorn and hold onto your seats, darlings, because the boundaries between the squared circle and the silver screen are blurring faster than a blink in a horror movie. Our very own wrestling maestro, Chris Jericho, is no stranger to the macabre-we all remember his chilling turns in the Terrifier franchise-but it seems the former AEW World Champion is ready to dive headfirst into the dark again. And trust me, the premise is as juicy as it gets.
According to the whispers from Deadline, Jericho is set to star in I Am Teeth, a creature action horror film from Epic Pictures Group. Helmed by director Scott B. Hansen, this isn’t just your average monster mash. Jericho will be stepping into the boots of a bounty hunter ominously known as “The Hunter.” Now, picture this: a group of middle school children searching for a lost pet, who accidentally trap a werewolf. But this isn’t just any werewolf-it’s something far more sinister than a mere creature. Our kids are caught in a deadly crossfire, pursued by Jericho’s character and a terror that defies imagination.
The film is gearing up to seduce buyers at the American Film Market next week, with select scenes being showcased. While the cameras won’t officially roll on the rest of the project until early 2027-a long wait, I know-the buzz is already palpable.
But don’t think for a second that Jericho is resting on his laurels. The man is practically everywhere these days! In a casting move that has the industry buzzing, October revealed that he will portray the legendary wrestling star Gorgeous George in The Greatest, an Amazon Prime limited series chronicling the life of boxing icon Muhammad Ali. Jericho teased us all on X recently, flaunting a photo of himself in full flamboyant regalia. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s also slated to appear in Dexter: Resurrection as “The Midnight Mangler” and has a role in the series Margo’s Got Money Troubles.
Back in the ring, things took a dramatic turn as Jericho was defeated twice by Nick Wayne, including at AEW WrestleDream. But our veteran star is brushing off the losses and preparing to set sail this weekend on his “Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager At Sea,” which will feature a special episode of AEW Collision.
From terrorizing kids on screen to sailing the high seas, Chris Jericho proves that whether he’s wielding a championship belt or a movie script, he remains the ultimate showman. Stay tuned, dearies, because this star isn’t fading into the background anytime soon-he’s just getting started.
