Chris Jericho Set To Star In Wrestling-Themed Horror Film Dark Match

Chris Jericho is heading back to the big screen, as he’s starring in a wrestling-themed horror film titled Dark Match. Deadline reports that the AEW star will star in the film, which is written and directed by Lowell Dean (Wolfcop) and also stars Ayisha Issa, Steven Ogg, Sara Canning, Michael Eklund, and Jonathan Cherry.

Filming recently wrapped on the movie, which Jericho is executive producing alongside John MacDonald. According to the outlet, the film centers on a small-time wrestling company who accept a high-paying gig in a backwoods town, only to discover when they arrive that the community is run by a mysterious cult leader with devious plans for their match.

Dean said of the film, “It’s been a blast filming in Edmonton and working every day with such a talented cast and crew. I’m excited for the opportunity to work with Dept.9 Studios and for the producer’s support in bringing Dark Match to life.”

Jericho has made several film appearances over the years, most recently in a cameo at the end of Terrifier 2.
