Terrifier 4 director Damien Leone has teased that a WWE legend could be popping up in the upcoming horror sequel.
The fourth and final instalment of the creepy franchise is currently in the works, and will pick up where last year’s scare-fest left off – with Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) terrorizing Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera) and her loved ones once again.
Fans have been desperate for more from the serial killer and it turns out that Rhea Ripley is right there with them, having shared her hopes that she could become one of his on-screen victims.
During a recent interview with YouTuber Chris Van Vliet, the 28-year-old declared: ‘Oh, I would love that. I want to be in Terrifier [4] so badly.
‘It’s the last one, Damien said that this is going to be the last one. Yeah. Kill me. Kill me, I don’t care.’
Emphasizing her love for the franchise, Rhea also shared her excitement at possibly meeting David, the man behind Art the Clown, but feared that she would be ‘too annoying’ and fan girl over him.
‘David, good old Art the Clown, I want to meet him so bad. I’m just waiting for that day,’ she continued. ‘I’ve been trying to get him to come watch WWE, and it’s just like our schedules just don’t line up.
‘But one day I will meet him, and I hope that I’m not too annoying. I really hope I’m not too annoying. I love my fans, but I really hope that they haven’t made my name stale to him.
‘He’s probably heard it over and over and over again, “Do you know Rhea Ripley?” He’s like, “Yes, I know Rhea Ripley.” So I’m excited to meet him one day.’
Responding to her comments on Twitter, filmmaker Damien suggested she could meet her hero very soon on set.
He simply said: ‘The wheels are turning @RheaRipley_WWE.’
The first Terrifier film was released in 2016, with the follow-up premiering in 2022.
The third instalment was released in US cinemas at the end of 2024, with cinemas issuing warnings to ticket-holders over the seriously grim scenes – amid reports of some viewers vomiting or walking out.
Rhea wouldn’t be the first star from the wrestling world to appear in the Terrifier franchise if she does land a role, as Chris Jericho has already claimed that title.
He briefly popped up in Terrifier 2, before Art killed him in last year’s sequel.
Other details for the movie are tightly under wraps but Damien previously shed light on what we can expect, promising: ‘The script for Terrifier 4 is in the works and it’s shaping up to be a most epic, thrilling, nasty, horrifying, emotional and utterly satisfying conclusion.’
Appearing at Texas Frightmare Weekend, he later declared: ‘I know this word gets used a lot, but it’s going to be epic, it’s not going to disappoint.
‘You’re going to get Art’s backstory in the first 15 minutes.’
Bring it on!
