Former WWE Braun Strowman Nears Jason Voorhees Role in Horror Franchise Revival

News summary

Braun Strowman, formerly known as WWE star Adam Scherr, has transitioned from wrestling to pursuing an acting career, with a significant focus on horror roles. Since his WWE release in May 2025, Strowman has been involved in various projects, including starring as a security guard in the horror comedy "Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon" and hosting a food series titled "Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman" set to air on USA Network. Most notably, he is in talks to play the iconic horror villain Jason Voorhees in a new "Friday the 13th" film revival, a role he is eager to take on and for which he would even shave his signature beard. These discussions hinge on licensing agreements and getting all parties on the same page, but Strowman remains optimistic about the opportunity. His acting ambitions mark a clear career shift from his days as WWE Universal Champion to potentially becoming a major figure in Hollywood horror. This move underscores his desire to leverage his physicality and persona from wrestling into a successful film career.
