WWE’s Liv Morgan to make film debut in ‘The Kill Room’
WWE star Liv Morgan has booked her first film role.
It was announced via Deadline today that Morgan (real name Gionna Daddio) will make her big-screen acting debut in “The Kill Room.” The film is described as being a darkly comic thriller.
Morgan will play “an art purist who bemoans the vapidness of art dealers.”
Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, Joe Manganiello, Maya Hawke, Debi Mazar, Larry Pine, Dree Hemingway, and Leah McSweeney are also part of the cast for “The Kill Room.”
“The film centers on hitman Reggie (Manganiello), his boss (Jackson), an art dealer (Thurman) and their money laundering scheme that accidentally turns the hitman into an overnight Avant-Garde sensation, forcing the dealer to play the art world against the underworld,” Deadline wrote.
Nicol Paone is the director of “The Kill Room.” A release date for the film has yet to be announced.
Yale Entertainment is producing “The Kill Room.”
In WWE, Morgan is currently feuding with her former tag team partner Rhea Ripley. Morgan, AJ Styles & Finn Balor will face The Judgment Day (Ripley, Edge & Damian Priest) in a six-person mixed tag team match at Hell in a Cell this Sunday.
