Why Cody Rhodes Is The Next Big Thing In Hollywood

Cody Rhodes has always had an eye on the bigger picture. From his early days as a mid-carder in WWE to co-founding AEW, “The American Nightmare” has never settled for mediocrity. He has also finally fulfilled his long-standing dream of becoming WWE Champion.

Now, fans and critics alike are wondering: what’s next for Cody Rhodes? Well, judging by his charisma, screen presence, and relentless ambition, the answer might just be Hollywood.

There’s a certain charm about Cody Rhodes that transcends the wrestling ring. He’s got that old-school movie star aura, a hybrid of confidence, style, and a touch of arrogance that makes you want to keep watching, whether you love him or love to hate him. He’s always carried himself like a leading man. That kind of presence doesn’t go unnoticed in Hollywood. Let’s not forget that Cody has already dipped his toes in acting.

He made guest appearances on ‘Arrow’ as Derek Sampson. He wasn’t just a wrestler trying to act, he was a believable character, and he looked damn comfortable doing it. Additionally, physically, Cody fits the mold, too. Hollywood is always in search of strong, athletic leads, especially in the age of superhero blockbusters and action-packed franchises. With his frame, platinum-blond hair, and iconic tattoo, Cody is a walking action figure. So, it’s not hard to imagine him as a star.

Cody Rhodes Has A Story Fans Can’t Resist

What makes Cody’s transition to Hollywood feel inevitable is the narrative he’s built around himself. He’s not just another wrestler with a dream, he’s the guy who left the biggest wrestling company in the world because he believed he deserved more. He’s the guy who helped launch a new promotion from the ground up, then walked away from it at the peak of its popularity to chase something even bigger. So, without question, he has the motivation needed.

Moreover, Hollywood loves comeback stories, and Cody has lived one in real life. He went from being a character many fans cringed at to headlining WrestleMania and finally winning the top prize. Along the way, he’s been both adored and vilified. That layered legacy makes him fascinating, relatable, and very marketable. Of course, his journey hasn’t been without bumps. His reality show ‘Rhodes to the Top’ didn’t exactly become a cultural phenomenon. 

Critics called it dull, and many fans tuned out. But even that experience gave him valuable insight into the entertainment world. The flop didn’t hurt him. He takes risks, and sometimes they don’t work. It also doesn’t hurt that Cody has wrestling royalty in his veins. Being the son of Dusty Rhodes gives his story a sense of legacy and depth. Hollywood loves legacy. Think of how many movies center around carrying the torch, proving yourself, or honoring a fallen legend. Cody’s already done that in real life.

All in all, Cody is passionate, driven, and polished. He has the looks, the story, and the ability to connect with an audience. Wrestling may be his first love, but it doesn’t have to be his only spotlight. He’s already proven that he can rise above the doubters. So, if Hollywood is smart, they’ll come calling soon. And when they do, Cody Rhodes won’t just be another wrestler making a cameo, he’ll be a Hollywood star!
