Play his song and sing it loud because WWE’s architect and snazziest dresser is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is the latest casting announcement for next year’s Captain America: New World Order. Well, if you are going to have a Marvel film with the ‘NWO’ initials in the title it would be rude not to cast a wrestling star in the film.

New World Order will be Anthony Mackie’s first outing as the new Captain America Sam Wilson, after taking the mantle over – officially – in MCU Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and this film will explore Sam’s journey in stepping up as leader and our new Cap.

There is no official word yet on how large Rollins’ role in the film will be or who he will be portraying but rumours suggest he may be one of the villainous Serpent society, especially going by some previously reported set photos that would seem to support this theory but again we make no firm claims here!

This “Freakin” awesome news should certainly please the many WWE fans out there who also happen to be all in on Marvel too. As Rollins will maybe be getting the chance to curb stomp his foes on the big screen in his newest film role (after previous film appearances in the likes of Sharknado: The 4th Awakens and Like a Boss).

Rollins now joins a rather increasingly weighty cast in Julius Onah’s (The Cloverfield Paradox) new entry (the 34th) in the MCU machine, a cast that includes, Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Harrison Ford, Tim Blake Nelson, Shira Haas, Liv Tyler and Xosha Roquemore.

The movie is currently filming, so no doubt we’ll hear more big news from who is appearing, the shape it’s taking and story and character details.
