Drew McIntyre Joins Voice Cast Of Disney’s Hexed

Drew McIntyre is expanding his résumé outside the squared circle, joining the voice cast of Disney’s upcoming animated feature Hexed. The project follows Billie Doe, an impulsive teenager who discovers she possesses hidden magical powers, with Hailee Steinfeld voicing the lead role. McIntyre’s specific character hasn’t been detailed publicly yet, but his addition to the cast marks another notable step in his growing acting career.

For McIntyre, this isn’t his first dip into Hollywood waters — the former WWE Champion has steadily built out an acting portfolio alongside his in-ring work in recent years, following a well-worn path blazed by stars like Dave Bautista, John Cena and Dwayne Johnson before him. What makes the Hexed news stand out is the specific partner: Disney. The entertainment giant has increasingly found crossover appeal in pro wrestling talent, whether through live-action blockbusters or, in this case, animated family programming, and landing a voice role in an original Disney feature is a meaningful credit regardless of how large the part turns out to be.

It also underscores something WWE has leaned into for years — positioning its top personalities as entertainers first, athletes second, with mainstream media opportunities treated as an extension of the brand rather than a distraction from it. McIntyre, a former two-time WWE Champion and one of the company’s most reliable in-ring performers over the last half-decade, has long carried himself with a showman’s instinct that translates naturally to screen work. His booming Scottish brogue and larger-than-life presence make him a logical fit for voice acting specifically, a medium where personality can carry a performance even without a face on camera.

The timing is also worth watching. McIntyre remains a fixture on WWE television, and roles like this one tend to raise a performer’s visibility well beyond the wrestling audience — something WWE has consistently welcomed, given how often it has used outside media appearances from its stars to fuel storylines or simply keep them in the pop-culture conversation. Whether Hexed ends up being a brief vocal cameo or something more substantial for McIntyre remains to be seen, since Disney has not yet detailed the scope of his part.

Still, the announcement fits a broader pattern: more wrestlers than ever are treating Hollywood and streaming projects as a natural complement to their wrestling careers rather than a retirement plan. For McIntyre, adding a Disney animated credit to his name is a notable marker of how far his outside-the-ring opportunities have grown, even as he continues to be one of WWE’s most consistent main-roster competitors. Fans will be watching for more details on his character and the film’s release plans as Disney reveals more about Hexed in the months ahead.
