What happened
The first Japanese trailer for “Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo” has been released, featuring WWE Superstar Liv Morgan, according to Fightful, Wrestling Headlines, and 411Mania.
The film, directed by Takashi Miike, was set to have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on the night the trailer surfaced, per the reports.
What we know
Liv Morgan appears in the official Japanese trailer for the movie, which was shared online ahead of its TIFF debut, according to Fightful.
411Mania reported that the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival the same day the new trailer went online.
Wrestling Headlines noted that “Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo” is also expected to receive a theatrical release following its festival premiere.
What is not confirmed
None of the reports specify a theatrical release date for “Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo,” nor do they detail the scope of Liv Morgan’s role in the film.
Why it matters
Liv Morgan’s involvement in a Takashi Miike film premiering at a major festival like TIFF represents another crossover project for the WWE star outside the ring, continuing a trend of wrestlers pursuing mainstream film and television opportunities.
