Away from the WWE, Roman Reigns is gearing up for his next movie venture that’s slated for an OTT release, this summer. According to the updates from Amazon MGM, he’d feature in The Pickup, an action-comedy. The WWE Superstar starrer project will premiere on August 6 on Prime Video.
Apart from Roman Reigns, the film also stars Eddie Murphy, Keke Palmer, and Pete Davidson. For the record, the former WWE Champion had taken time off from WWE after losing to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, last year, and the subsequent reports stated that he was busy filming this project. He then returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2024 to start a feud with Solo Sikoa’s New Bloodline.

Storyline revealed for Roman Reigns’ next Amazon Prime movie
Directed by Tim Story, this Roman Reigns movie will revolve around a routine cash pickup, which takes a wild turn when two mismatched armored truck drivers, Russell (Murphy) and Travis (Davidson), are ambushed by criminals led by a savvy mastermind, Zoe (Palmer). Plans thus go way beyond the cash cargo as chaos starts unfolding around them.
Written by Kevin Burrows & Matt Mider, the official star cast of The Pick Up includes Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i, Eva Longoria, Marshawn Lynch, Andrew Dice Clay, and Ismael Cruz Córdova. Producers on the project included John Davis, John Fox, Murphy, Story, and Charisse Hewitt-Webster.
Previous reports have already suggested that Roman Reigns will also star in a live-action Street Fighter movie starring Jason Momoa, Andrew Koji, and Noah Centineo. These star powers are reportedly in talks to star in Legendary’s upcoming project, based on the popular Capcom video game series.
