Chris Jericho will play a bounty hunter in the werewolf horror movie I Am Teeth, where his character searches for a female werewolf being protected by middle-schoolers while something even more terrifying closes in on them all.

Jericho said in a statement that I Am Teeth is “such a smart and adventurous film that reminds me of a cross between The Goonies and Silver Bullet, and I think audiences are going to have a lot of fun stepping into our world of The Teeth!”

I Am Teeth is from director Scott B. Hansen (Devour, Bad Candy), from a script by Hansen, Desiree Hansen, and J.R. Curtis. In addition to Jericho, the movie stars Hope Jordan and Thomas Parobek.

Jericho currently wrestles for AEW, where he’s been since the beginning of the company. He’s the first-ever AEW world champion, but now he’s taken a different kind of role in the ring. And he’s recently been beaten by Nick Wayne. Twice.

In horror, Jericho has most recently appeared in Terrifier 2 and 3, and he played a major role in the wrestling-horror movie Dark Match (2024). He was also in a 2009 horror movie titled Albino Farm.

There is no release date yet, and production will continue into 2027.
