Former WWE champion Adam Scherr, known to fans as Braun Strowman, recently told reporters he wants to wear the iconic hockey mask. He made the comment at the premiere of Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon. When asked which horror series he would love to join, Scherr answered without hesitation. “Friday the 13th. Jason,” he said.
Scherr added that he would shave his beard and change his look to match the legendary killer. He hinted that his agent and some producers may already be talking about the role. “There may be some talks about it with people that I know and my agency. If we could get everybody on the same page, I might be the next Voorhees,” he explained.
Why Scherr Could Be a Good Fit
At 42, Scherr brings a massive physique that could make Jason feel more threatening than ever. His background in professional wrestling means he knows how to move with power and presence. Fans imagine his towering frame stalking the woods of Crystal Lake, creating a fresh take on the slasher.
Friday the 13th Revival Expands Across Media
The Friday the 13th franchise is experiencing a major revival. The new “Jason Universe” will launch short films, movies, and video games that explore the killer’s mythos. The first short film, Sweet Revenge, already lives on the Jason Universe YouTube channel.
On television, A24 and Peacock are developing a prequel series called Crystal Lake. The show will follow a young Jason played by Callum Vinson and will dive into the character’s early years.
What We Know About the Upcoming Film
Details about the new Friday the 13th movie remain under wraps. Studios have not released a plot or a cast list yet. However, Scherr’s public interest adds excitement to the project. If he secures the role, the film could feature one of the most physically imposing Jason portrayals to date.
Horror fans are already sharing fan art and speculation on social media. Many hope that Scherr’s involvement will bring new energy to the franchise while honoring its classic roots.
What This Means for Fans
Should Adam Scherr become the next Jason, the franchise could attract both wrestling fans and horror lovers. The crossover potential may boost viewership for the upcoming series and films. It also shows how the Friday the 13th brand is reaching out to fresh talent to keep the story alive.
For now, fans must wait for official announcements. In the meantime, they can enjoy the new short film and keep an eye on Scherr’s interviews for any further clues.
