Drew McIntyre Talks ‘Agent Of Shadows’ Role, Praises WWE Superstars’ Acting

Drew McIntyre has praised his fellow WWE Superstars for their acting performances in Agent of Shadows, the upcoming microdrama produced by WWE and ReelShort. The Scottish wrestler also discussed his role in the action-comedy ahead of its October 23 premiere. It marks the first original live-action microdrama for both companies.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, McIntyre explained that playing Roscoe let him explore a different character. Roscoe serves as Adam Hawke’s right-hand man and technology expert, played by Chase Mattson. McIntyre compared his character to Q from the James Bond franchise.

“I’m the right-hand man of Adam, the lead character, our James Bond type. I am the Q to his Bond. I’m the tech guy, and if called upon, I’m going to kick some butt too, and obviously, the sex appeal.”

Agent of Shadows also features several WWE performers, including Jacob Fatu, Joe Hendry, Royce Keys, Nikkita Lyons, Hank Walker, and Tank Ledger. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T also appears.

“But yeah, we got a lot of the superstars in there. Everybody did a great job, not just the action sequences, which is a given, being WWE superstars, but from the acting-wise, I thought everyone did a great job. It’s fun. It’s a really fun watch, and hopefully everyone goes into it with that idea. Hey, I’m about to have a little fun watch, and might be surprised about the romantic elements, the comedic elements, and at the center there is heart, and it is a very fun watch.”

Drew McIntyre has been absent from WWE television since losing to Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 42. During that time, he has pursued several acting opportunities, including roles in Highlander, The Last Druid, and Disney’s animated film Hexed.
