Former WWE Superstar Braun Strowman is expanding his entertainment career with not just a new TV show but also a key role in the highly anticipated horror-comedy sequel, Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon. Strowman recently shared the official trailer for the film and expressed his enthusiasm about being part of this project, signaling a dynamic shift beyond his wrestling persona[4].

Braun Strowman’s Transition From WWE to Acting Spotlight

Known for his compelling presence in WWE, Braun Strowman has steadily moved into the entertainment industry beyond wrestling. Alongside his ongoing television show, Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman airing on the USA Network, he is now highlighting his role in Deathgasm 2, produced by Raven Banner. “Super excited to finally announce I am in Deathgasm 2,” Strowman shared on his social media channels, adding that the experience was extremely enjoyable[4].

Sources close to Strowman reveal that his involvement in this project represents his commitment to diversifying his career portfolio. WWE insiders told Fightful that Strowman’s burgeoning film career is viewed positively within the industry, with many keen to see his evolution as a performer in new entertainment avenues.

What to Expect From Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon

The original Deathgasm (2015) developed a cult following for its blend of heavy metal culture with supernatural horror elements. Directed by Jason Lei Howden, the sequel Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon continues the story of Brodie, the lead character who is now “washed-up, broke, and stuck in small-town purgatory,” as he attempts to revive his band to win a battle-of-the-bands contest called NoizeQuest[1][2].

The horror-comedy promises to deliver the same mix of gore, blood, and outrageous fun fans loved in the initial film, with Brodie tapping into dark magic via “The Black Hymn” to literally bring his dead bandmates back for one more chaotic mosh pit. As the official synopsis reveals, every chord played unleashes apocalyptic chaos in true Deathgasm fashion[1][2].

The film is set for its world premiere at the upcoming Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, on September 21, 2025, before touring various international film festivals including Sitges in Spain and Monster Fest in Australia later this fall[3]. This strategic release plan targets both horror aficionados and metalheads worldwide, leveraging the cult status of the original film to stir excitement.

Braun Strowman’s Role and Impact in the Film

Though full details about Strowman’s character remain under wraps, the former WWE star’s involvement adds a unique draw for the film. His imposing physical stature and performance experience from the wrestling ring make him a natural fit for the genre’s intense and dramatic demands.

A WWE.com insider noted, “Braun brings a commanding presence to the screen that translates perfectly into horror-action roles. His participation in Deathgasm 2 will no doubt attract wrestling fans to a film they might otherwise have missed.” Strowman’s crossover helps bridge wrestling and cult horror audiences, potentially broadening the film’s reception.
