Liv Morgan is heading to the big screen, and her new film has landed a high-profile launch. The Toronto International Film Festival unveiled its 2026 lineup on Monday, July 20, and among the titles set to screen is “Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo,” which stars the WWE Superstar.
The festival’s slate this year includes a wide range of buzzed-about films, with “Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo” standing out as one of the more intriguing entries thanks to Morgan’s involvement. Details on her role and the rest of the film’s plot have not been made widely available, but its inclusion alongside other high-profile titles on the festival’s docket signals real anticipation heading into the fall event.
Morgan has been building an on-screen presence outside the ring in recent years, and a premiere slot at a festival as prominent as Toronto marks a notable step for her growing résumé. TIFF has long served as a launching pad for awards-season buzz and mainstream visibility, so a slot on this year’s lineup puts “Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo” in front of an audience well beyond the wrestling world.
No screening date or additional cast and crew details have been confirmed at this time. As the festival approaches, more information about the film — including trailers, premiere scheduling, and press appearances — is expected to surface.
For now, wrestling fans have another reason to keep an eye on the festival circuit this fall, with Morgan’s latest project set to make its debut alongside some of the year’s most talked-about films.
