Drew McIntyre Films New Movie Amid WWE Hiatus

Drew McIntyre is on a hiatus from WWE, with his last match at WrestleMania 42 against Jacob Fatu.

He is busy filming The Last Druid, a historical epic starring Russell Crowe.

Drew's agent, Nick LoPiccolo, confirmed the news, stating that McIntyre wrapped filming his part for the Highlander reboot in April 2026.

LoPiccolo said Drew is a wrestler first and respects WWE, but this new movie is an exception.

Drew McIntyre will be missing SummerSlam 2026, with no creative discussed for his return to WWE before the event.

The rumors of his return to WWE before SummerSlam are inaccurate, according to LoPiccolo.

SummerSlam will be a two-night event live from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, with Roman Reigns likely headlining Night 2, defending his World Heavyweight Championship.

Drew McIntyre's absence will be felt, especially with the main event scene looking stacked, including Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi.

Drew McIntyre completed two projects and is currently working on the third, with his agent confirming the news.

The Last Druid is being shot in Spain, following the story of a Roman Emperor's discovery of a secluded Druid in the mountains of Caledonia.

Nick LoPiccolo works around the promotion's schedule for Drew's Hollywood bookings, ensuring a smooth transition between his wrestling and acting careers.
