Roman Reigns To Star In New Movie With The Rock

Roman Reigns has been off WWE television for the past few months as he battles leukemia. It turns out that during his absence, Reigns has been filming a big new movie role.

He will star as the Rock’s brother in the upcoming movie, HOBBS & SHAW.

Here is what the Rock posted about Reigns:

“The brothers roar. A lil’ HOBBS & SHAW exclusive. Good times droppin’ sweat and spillin’ blood with my family, @RomanReigns who’ll be playing my brother in our FAST & FURIOUS UNIVERSE. I’m very proud of his focus, effort and authentic performance in our movie for his very first time on film.

I’m also very grateful to spend this quality time with my cousin here in the islands as he takes life one day at a time to recover from leukemia.
His perseverance and humility battling this challenge has inspired our entire family as well as millions around the world in our beloved @WWE Universe.

Can’t wait to see the “Big Dog” return back to the ring – his positive & focused mindset to return is straight up next level.
Til’ then, this sacred Samoan ground you stand on is nourished with our ancestors blood.

Today, we nourish it with yours”

Pretty cool!
