10 Upcoming Movies Starring WWE Superstars
6. Eliminators
Another WWE Studios production, Eliminators features one of the company’s recently released stars. Former Nexus leader and noted purveyor of bad news Wade Barrett plays villain to Scott Adkins’ (Doctor Strange, Expendables 2) hero. It’s a big role for Barrett in his first feature film, but Eliminators is a straight-to-DVD movie. It’ll be released on December 6th, and the first trailer was released a few weeks ago.
Adkins plays Thomas, a former US Federal Agent who relocated to London as part of a witness protection program. He is forced to come out of hiding when his London home is erroneously invaded by criminals, and with his identity exposed to the underworld, he goes on the run with Europe’s deadliest assassin on his tail.
Barrett plays said assassin, and will no doubt be given plenty of opportunities to show his villainous action movie chops. Having announced his intent on taking a long hiatus from the wrestling business, it looks like Barrett’s attentions will be focused on making movies for the foreseeable future: his second film, Vengeance, is already in post-production.
