Damian Priest on WWE Raw
Damian Priest, one of WWE’s top stars and a former World Heavyweight Champion, recently revealed a surprising story from his rise in the wrestling world. During an interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Priest disclosed that he had been offered a role in the hit Marvel film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever back in 2022, only to have the opportunity snatched away from him. Intriguingly, Priest made it clear that Marvel wasn’t responsible for the decision.
Rumours at the time suggested that Priest had auditioned for the role of Namor, a pivotal character in the Black Panther sequel who ended up being the primary antagonist in the film. Although he ultimately didn’t make it to the big screen, the fact that he secured the role speaks volumes about his acting potential and his ability to transition from the squared circle to Hollywood.
This wouldn’t be the first time McMahon has interfered in his talent’s outside opportunities. Over the years, McMahon has been known to restrict WWE superstars from pursuing projects that could potentially take them away from the company’s programming.
Despite missing out on the chance to appear in the Marvel blockbuster, Priest has continued to thrive in WWE. He captured the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40 and most recently secured a major victory in a tag team match alongside Rhea Ripley at WWE Bash in Berlin. His wrestling career remains on an upward trajectory, but fans can’t help but wonder what could have been if he had been allowed to pursue his Hollywood ambitions. Stay tuned to Collider for more.
