Charlotte Flair has grown into WWE's best female worker not named Asuka. Add her promo chops to the mix and Flair is arguably better than her Japanese peer. It's that charisma which led producers on Psyche: The Movie to seek out Charlotte for a role as the film's tough-talking villainess late last year.

During an interview with The Wrap, Flair admitted that she didn't think she'd be very good in the role. Once it was over with and Charlotte heard praise from pro actors though, the thought of doing more movie work crossed her mind. In fact, the SmackDown Women's Champ is now interested in becoming an action hero post-WWE. That's quite the turnaround for somebody who went into Hollywood feeling trepidatious.

This is one of the first times Charlotte has talked about what she'd like to do after hanging up the tights as a pro wrestler. Could she be the next star to crossover from WWE to the movies?

Only time will tell on that one, but she's keen.
