Nia Jax in her wrestling outfit and Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam in a custom image
Dwayne Johnson changed the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe when he starred in the 2022 film Black Adam, and his second cousin once removed, WWE star Nia Jax, recently spoke about following in his footsteps. Born Savelina Fanene, the performer has been with WWE since 2014, although she has not yet acted in any major productions. Still, performers like John Cena and Dave Bautista, in addition to Johnson himself, have shown there is a clear path from WWE to starring in superhero blockbusters.
"So I am such a wrestling diehard. I don't know if I could do... I love what we do where it's like live-action on the road. We show up that day, we figure out what we're doing an hour before the show, and then we perform it and leave. I don't know if I could do the Hollywood thing where I'm rehearsing and taking different takes. So I commend Dwayne for doing that because that's awesome. I don't know if that's for me.
What Nia Jax's DC Superhero Role Comments Mean Jax Doesn't Seem Especially Interested In Moving To Feature Films Just Yet Close Nia Jax spoke in detail about the notable similarities between superhero films and a WWE show. From rehearsal to performance, there is much that can be seen to align between the two, and much of what Jax already does in WWE could easily translate to work on a Hollywood film. With that said, she did express some hesitation over the idea of doing multiple takes.
