David Dastmalchian is eyeing a move into professional wrestling.
The actor, known for standout roles in Oppenheimer, Dune: Part One, Blade Runner 2049, and The Suicide Squad, discussed his interest during a conversation with Cody Rhodes on the latest episode of Grave Conversations.
Dastmalchian said he wants to get in the ring at some point and believes his skill set would make him a strong on-screen manager.
Why it matters: Hollywood crossover moments can draw fresh audiences to wrestling. A performer with Dastmalchian’s character work and presence could add star power and storytelling depth—especially in a managerial role that amplifies talent and angles.
No timeline or specific promotion was mentioned.
