CM Punk says he is trying to get Netflix to back a third season of Heels and has a couple new acting roles set. The WWE star spoke with Deadline for a new interview where he talked about balancing acting and wrestling, his race with Dave Bautista to be the first to do a romantic comedy and more. You can see highlights below: On balancing acting and wrestling: “It’s a lot easier now.
It was harder back in the day because wrestling was the lion’s share of what I did, and I wasn’t allowed to do other stuff. I have pre-existing relationships and projects I work on that are grandfathered into my contract. I typically do Monday Night Raw live on Netflix every week.
But if I need to dip out for two weeks to shoot an independent film, I can always do that. “We’re trying to petition Netflix to do a third season of Heels . I have two projects coming down the line that I’m very excited about.
One is the TV show Revival that will air on Syfy, and a really, really fun movie called Night Patrol , written and directed by Ryan Prows. I don’t want to give away too much but it’s night patrol, LAPD, Bloods, Crips, vampires.” On if he’s playing a vampire: “I’m not gonna tell you.
[Laughs] It’s a total throwback, old-school fun horror movie. I can’t wait for my fans to see it; as much as I love it, I know they will too.” On wanting to do a romcom: “I would love to do that.
Me and Dave Bautista are trying to do a rom-com, maybe not together, but it’s a race. He really wants to do one, and I really want to do one too. Dave and I are two emotional b**ches.
We would absolutely kill that genre, guaranteed, him especially. I’m dying to work with him. What if we were romantically involved? Who’s not going to pay to see that?”.
