WWE superstar Damian Priest revealed that he was cast for a role in Marvel's 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' but ultimately did not appear in the film due to intervention from WWE management at that time. Priest discussed this in an interview with Chris Van Vliet, hinting at Vince McMahon's involvement in blocking the opportunity. Despite the setback, Priest maintains a positive outlook, emphasizing that missing out on the role may have paved the way for his victory at WrestleMania XL, where he became World Heavyweight Champion. He expressed openness to future opportunities in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but remains focused on his current wrestling career.
