The juggernaut of the WWE NXT women’s division is trading the squared circle for the silver screen.
WWE Superstar Jordynne Grace is officially making her movie debut in the upcoming fantasy feature Welcome to Paradise. As originally reported by Variety, the film is written and directed by independent wrestler Charles Crowley (real name Richard Summers-Calvert) and boasts an impressive cast that includes acclaimed British actor Bill Nighy and Gavin & Stacey star Mathew Horne.
“British thespian Bill Nighy and Gavin & Stacey star Mathew Horne have joined the cast of genre-bending fantasy feature Welcome to Paradise, alongside WWE superstar Jordynne Grace making her screen debut,” Variety reported.
Grace, who has been dominant since her debut on the NXT brand, will star as Lisa (Jacked Wrestling Demon Form) according to iMDB. The synopsis for “Welcome to Paradise” reads: “A woman finds herself in a strange, magical carnival with no memory of anything but her own name. Time seems to be of the essence, can she find her way back to reality or will she succumb to her fantasy?” The plot promises a mix of surreal wonder and psychological intrigue, aligning perfectly with the unique creative vision Crowley has developed over the years both in and out of the ring.
For fans of Jordynne Grace, this represents a major career milestone. Already a powerhouse in professional wrestling, Grace’s transition into acting—especially in a genre film with mainstream and cult appeal—demonstrates her continued evolution as an entertainer.
The film also stars Simon Miller, who is an English professional wrestler, and journalist who is known for his work with WhatCulture.
Filming for Welcome to Paradise is “eyeing a late 2025 delivery with major festival berths in its sights,” according to Variety.
