Exciting news is swirling around the world of entertainment as reports indicate that WWE superstar Seth Rollins might be making his way into the highly popular Marvel Cinematic Universe. Rollins, a former WWE Universal Champion, was recently spotted on the set of Captain America: New World Order in Atlanta, Georgia, fueling speculations about his potential involvement in the upcoming superhero film.
While details regarding Rollins’ role in the movie remain undisclosed, rumors suggest that he may be portraying a member of the Serpent Society, a notorious group of villains speculated to be the central antagonists of the fourth installment in the Captain America franchise.
The secrecy surrounding the film extends beyond Rollins’ possible participation, as only limited information has been officially revealed about Captain America: New World Order. It is slated for release on May 3, 2024, with principal photography having commenced in March of this year.
Fans can anticipate the return of Anthony Mackie, who will reprise his role as Sam Wilson, taking on the mantle of Captain America after the events of the series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In a pivotal moment during Avengers: Endgame, Chris Evans’ character, Steve Rogers, passed his iconic shield to Wilson, marking the passing of the torch and setting the stage for a new era of the beloved superhero.
WWE’s venture into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not unprecedented. Batista, a future WWE Hall of Famer, made a significant impact portraying Drax the Destroyer in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise from 2014 to 2023. Furthermore, plans were in place for Becky Lynch, another WWE superstar, to make her debut in the MCU through a post-credit scene in the film Eternals, alongside the talented Harry Styles. Unfortunately, the scene was ultimately discarded due to its perceived “depressing” nature. Additionally, David Otunga, a former WWE wrestler, made a brief cameo appearance in the television series She-Hulk, further cementing the connection between WWE and Marvel.
As Seth Rollins potentially takes his place among the superheroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, eager fans await further updates regarding his role and the impact he will make in the highly anticipated Captain America: New World Order. With the blending of these two dynamic worlds, the stage is set for an epic collision of wrestling and superhero storytelling, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating the next chapter of this incredible crossover.
