WWE Superstar Damian Priest Joins Netflix Animated Movie Cast

WWE Superstar Damian Priest has joined the voice cast of an upcoming animated Netflix movie, where he will provide the voice for a character named Cracktor. According to Animation Magazine, the project is the first fully animated in-house production from Netflix Animation Studios and is scheduled to premiere on November 20, 2026.

The film, directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, presents a unique twist on the classic Cinderella fairy tale. Priest’s character, Cracktor, is described by Animation Magazine as a fantastical, formidable monster-man.

Damian Priest’s Role and Performance Approach

Priest is utilizing his experience as a professional wrestler to shape the performance of the monster-man character. He noted that WWE Superstars use their voices as an extension of their onscreen personas to create intensity.

I enjoyed channeling that energy into making Cracktor feel intense and larger than life. I think people are going to be surprised by how much of a show-stealing character he is. Damian Priest
