WWE’s Damian Priest lands role in Netflix animated movie
Damian Priest is expanding his entertainment portfolio with his latest Hollywood project, joining the voice cast for an upcoming animated Netflix movie.
As reported by Animation Magazine, Priest will voice Cracktor, a ‘fantastical, formidable monster-man’. The film directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa spins a unique twist on the classic Cinderella fairy tale. The movie is slated to premiere on November 20, 2026, and will be the first fully animated in-house film from Netflix Animation Studios.
“As WWE Superstars, we use our voices as an extension of our onscreen character. I enjoyed channeling that energy into making Cracktor feel intense and larger than life. I think people are going to be surprised by how much of a show-stealing character he is,” stated Priest.
The voice cast already includes notable Hollywood names like Amanda Seyfried as Cinderella, Daniel Radcliffe as The Prince, Bette Midler as the Fairy Godmother, Peter Dinklage as Roderick, Ali Wong as Lilith and more.
