WWE's elite athletes have increasingly become a common sight in Hollywood, with icons like John Cena and Batista making successful transitions. Now, 14-time WWE Women's Champion Charlotte Flair is stepping into the cinematic arena, and she has her sights set on the biggest franchise of them all: the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
From the Ring to the Silver Screen: Flair's Cinematic Ambitions
In a recent conversation with Clutch Points, The Queen outlined her grand ambitions for her acting career. Charlotte Flair expressed a strong desire to portray powerful characters like a female version of Thor or a role akin to Angelina Jolie's Maleficent. She emphasized her interest in diverse genres, stating her openness to everything from superhero blockbusters to romantic comedies and dramatic roles.
"I'd absolutely love to play a strong female superhero," Flair revealed. "I'm just as drawn to romantic comedies, drama, and anything that lets me stretch creatively. I'm not ruling out any role; I love exploring new characters and worlds." Her first foray into feature films will see her as the villainous "Ms. Perfect" in the upcoming horror movie 'You Lose You Die', a project she filmed during her recovery from a major injury.
The Queen's Triumphant WWE Return and Tag Team Reign
Charlotte Flair's path to Hollywood was paved during a challenging period. She spent the entirety of 2024 away from WWE television due to a devastating knee injury. This downtime, however, was productively used to shoot her film. After a full year of intense rehabilitation, she made a spectacular return at the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble, which she went on to win.
Although she was unsuccessful in her WrestleMania 41 championship match against Tiffany Stratton, Flair's story took an intriguing turn. After initially resisting, she formed a powerful alliance with fellow superstar Alexa Bliss. This unlikely duo, despite their contrasting personas, quickly captured the WWE Universe's attention.
Their teamwork paid off at WWE SummerSlam 2025, where Flair and Bliss defeated the team of Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez on Night 1 to capture the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. Though they later lost the titles to Asuka and Kairi Sane a few months later, they remain a formidable force in the women's tag team division as 2026 begins, with fans wondering if they will reclaim the gold.
What's Next for The Queen?
Charlotte Flair now stands at a unique crossroads, balancing a thriving WWE career alongside budding Hollywood aspirations. Her immediate focus is on her tag team partnership with Alexa Bliss and the pursuit of more championship gold in WWE. Simultaneously, her public declaration of interest in roles within the MCU, especially a character as significant as a female Thor, has certainly put her on the radar of casting directors worldwide.
With her proven athleticism, commanding presence, and now, a clear cinematic goal, Charlotte Flair is poised to become the next WWE superstar to conquer both the wrestling world and the box office. The coming years will reveal if she gets to wield Mjolnir on screen or bring another iconic character to life.
