Fans of CM Punk will get to see the ‘Best in the World’ perform out of the ring in an upcoming comedy film titled ‘Let’s Start A Cult.’ The film will premiere on October 25, and features an ensemble cast including Stavros Halkias, Wes Haney, Eric Rahill, Katy Fullan, and Daniel Simonsen, with special appearances from Joe Pera, Ethan Suplee, and Tom Papa. Let’s Start A Cult is directed by Ben Kitnick.
A description of the film is as follows:
"The story follows an obnoxious loser who, having missed out on his cult’s long-awaited ritual suicide, teams up with his former, now-discredited messiah to rebuild their doomsday commune. As they travel through middle America, this bickering duo recruits a military wannabe, a mentally unstable mom, and a mysterious foreign hitchhiker into their cult. Together, this family of outcasts must decide whether to fulfill their supposed transcendent destiny or find that life might be worth living after all."
This is the latest notable project for CM Punk who is no stranger to roles outside of the ring. Punk has previously appeared in television series such as Mayans MC and Heels, and has starred in independent films including The Girl on the Third Floor and Jakob’s Wife. Punk signed with Paradigm Talent Agency in June and is one of several WWE Superstars, including his rival Drew McIntyre, to do so.
On WWE programming, Punk is in the midst of his feud with Drew McIntyre, and the two will collide at Bash in Berlin in a Strap Match. Punk competed in the stipulation against Umaga at Extreme Rules 2009 while McIntyre faced Karrion Kross in a strap match at Extreme Rules 2022.
