He has a knack for that. Wrestler have a weird relationship with acting, as you would think that they are capable of fitting into the acting world with ease, though it doesn’t exactly work that way. Only a handful of actors have done well in acting and it can be quite the second career for anyone who can make it work. Now another wrestling legend has landed quite the acting role.

According to Variety, WWE Hall of Famer and current Monday Night Raw star Edge has landed a recurring role on the Disney+ Percy Jackson series. Edge will play Ares, the god of war, who will “act as an agent of chaos wherever he goes”. Edge has had a second career in acting following his original retirement from the ring, appearing on shows such as Vikings, Haven and The Flash.

Opinion: That’s a big role for Edge to pick up and it is another step in his second career. Edge seems to have found something he has a knack for in acting and if he can keep going with it, good for him. Working on a Disney+ show is a big deal and it should open up a lot of doors for future roles. Hopefully it works out for him and you can imagine what WWE is going to have to say about Edge’s success.

What do you think of Edge’s acting? Who is the best wrestler turned actor? Let us know in the comments below.
