Drew McIntyre and Marko Zaror showcase skills in The Killer’s Game

Drew McIntyre, a WWE superstar, and Marko Zaror, a Chilean martial artist, star in the action film 'The Killer's Game,' which is set to release in theaters on Friday. This film marks McIntyre's debut in acting, where he is credited by his birth name, Drew Galloway. He has shared insights on the challenges of transitioning from live wrestling performances to film acting, emphasizing the importance of clear speech, especially with his Scottish accent. McIntyre also mentioned that he was encouraged to incorporate Scottish slang into his character, which added authenticity to his role. Zaror, who plays a character named El Botas, brings a unique flair to his fighting style by integrating flamenco dance into his moves. The director, J.J. Perry, allowed Zaror the creative freedom to choose his character's dance style, which enhances the visual appeal of the action sequences. Zaror expressed gratitude for the opportunities that have arisen in Hollywood, particularly after his involvement in 'The Killer's Game.' The film's narrative revolves around assassins attempting to secure a contract on a retired hitman, played by Dave Bautista. McIntyre's involvement in the project was reportedly suggested by Bautista himself, highlighting the camaraderie within the wrestling and acting communities. McIntyre aims to be a pioneer among WWE actors by balancing his wrestling career with acting, unlike others who transitioned to film after their wrestling careers ended. This ambition reflects his commitment to both professions and his desire to pave the way for future WWE stars in the film industry.
