Adam Copeland is set to grace the silver screen once again, this time joining the action-filled world of The Beekeeper. The All Elite Wrestling star has officially been cast in the sequel, Beekeeper 2, alongside action hero Jason Statham, who is reprising his role.

While specific details about the plot and the character Copeland will portray are currently being kept under wraps, the addition of the WWE Hall of Famer to the cast adds another layer of excitement for both wrestling and action movie fans. The original film followed a former operative of a clandestine organization known as the “Beekeepers” who is thrust back into action on a personal quest for vengeance.

A Heated Rivalry in AEW

While he’s expanding his presence in Hollywood, Adam Copeland remains a central figure in AEW.

The legendary duo has reformed to seek revenge on the tag team FTR, consisting of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, after they viciously attacked Copeland months ago. The rivalry has been a heated highlight on AEW programming, reminding WWE fans of the incredible chemistry that made Copeland and Cage one of the most decorated teams in professional wrestling history.
