Russell Crowe Says ‘The Last Druid’ Shoot With McIntyre Is Wrapping Up

Russell Crowe says his film project with WWE star Drew McIntyre is in its final stretch. Crowe posted on Instagram this week with an update on ‘The Last Druid,’ the movie the two have been shooting in Spain since May, noting that they’re now wrapping up production. In his post, Crowe shared that he’d been working out in the gym with McIntyre, calling him a “good lad” and praising him as “salt of the earth.”

Details on ‘The Last Druid’ itself remain sparse, but the mere fact that McIntyre has spent months overseas filming a movie alongside an Oscar-winning actor is notable on its own. Crowe, best known for roles in ‘Gladiator,’ ‘A Beautiful Mind,’ and ‘L.A. Confidential,’ isn’t exactly a name wrestling fans are used to seeing connected to their favorite performers, which has made this pairing a fun curiosity since it first came to light.

For McIntyre, this kind of outside project fits a pattern that’s become increasingly common for top WWE stars looking to build their brand beyond the ring. Dave Bautista’s transition from WWE to a full-fledged Hollywood career is the most obvious blueprint, and John Cena has spent years balancing wrestling with a growing film résumé. McIntyre, a former WWE Champion and one of the company’s most reliable main-event fixtures over the past several years, has long been open about wanting to expand his opportunities outside of pro wrestling, and a co-starring role alongside Crowe would be a significant step in that direction.

It’s worth watching how this affects McIntyre’s in-ring schedule and creative direction once filming wraps entirely. Spending months shooting a film in Spain is no small commitment, and it raises questions about how WWE has scripted around his availability, or whether this signals a lighter creative load for the Scottish star in the near term. McIntyre has remained a fixture of WWE programming for years, so any extended absence tied to outside work would be a departure from his usual presence on weekly television and pay-per-view cards.

No release date or further plot details for ‘The Last Druid’ have surfaced yet, and it’s unclear when the film will hit screens. But with Crowe indicating the shoot is nearly finished, more information — including cast specifics, story details, and a potential release window — should start trickling out in the coming months.

For now, McIntyre’s Hollywood detour remains one of the more unexpected crossover stories in wrestling, and it’ll be interesting to see how it’s received once the film actually arrives.
