Lucha Underground and ex-WWE Superstar John Morrison Joins 'Adi Shankar's Gods and Secrets'
"The Guru of Greatness", the "Shaman of Sexy' himself, ex-WWE superstar John Morrison (real name John Hennigan) is headed to the big screen, and considering the superhuman feats he's able to accomplish in the ring it's no surprise he's joining a superhero movie. Morrison, along with Perez Hilton (ughh...) and Shekhar Kapur have joined Adi Shankar's Gods and Secrets.
Morrison, who has been kicking ass on Lucha Underground as Johnny Mundo, joins the previously cast ensemble of B-listers led by Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Sharni Vinson, Andy Milonakis, Denise Richards, Jane Seymour, Max Adler, Mark Salling, Josh Sussman, RJ Mitte, and fellow grappler Diamond Dallas Page. The film, directed by Shankar and Stewart Yost, looks at the dark side of being a superhero and the impact on the people they're meant to protect. Morrison has appeared in multiple films and TV shows, and is currently shooting something called WTF: World Thumbwrestling Federation which sounds both awful and hilarious.
Hopefully Morrison will get to take someone for a journey on Starship Pain! [TheWrap]
