MJF Wants to Be on Mount Rushmore of Wrestlers-Turned-Actors

AEW World Champion MJF is not slowing down anytime soon—either in the ring or on the big screen.

In a brand-new interview with Brandon Walker, the Salt of the Earth dropped a major update: he just wrapped filming on Violent Night 2 for Universal Studios.

“Acting life’s going great. I just recently wrapped on Violent Night 2. It’s a Universal picture.”

This marked MJF’s third major Hollywood project, following his roles in Happy Gilmore 2 and The Iron Claw. And if you think this is just a side hustle for Max? Think again. He made it clear that this is only the beginning of a serious career shift.

“I want to do both wrestling and acting. I would definitely like to continue on the trajectory of my acting career.”

MJF made it very clear that each film has brought more responsibility—and more screen time.

“So far, I’ve done three movies. All of them were big-budget films, and all of them increased my amount of dialogue and screen time. Little by little, I’d like to continue doing that.”

But Max didn’t stop there. He name-dropped The Rock, John Cena, and Batista—and said he’s aiming to be right up there with them as part of the Mount Rushmore of wrestlers turned actors.

“I’d like to be a part of that Mount Rushmore of wrestlers turned actors… and I look forward to being next up.”

With Violent Night 2 now wrapped and Maximum Carnage on the AEW calendar, MJF is living proof that you can dominate professional wrestling and cinema at the same time—and look good doing it.
