Chris Jericho Cast as Villain in Werewolf Horror Film

AEW's Chris Jericho has secured a villainous role in the upcoming creature horror film titled I Am The Teeth. The cast also features Hope Jordan, who appeared in Devour, as Mae and Thomas Parobek from Cobra Kai. Scott B. Hansen is directing the project, which is being produced under Epic's Dread Originals banner.

J.R. Curtis wrote the screenplay in collaboration with Scott B. Hansen and Desiree Hansen. Production for the movie is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027. The plot centers on five middle schoolers who search for a lost pet and encounter a werewolf in their town's woods.

After accidentally trapping the creature, they learn it is actually a young woman who vanished more than a decade earlier. The children then face pursuit by the relentless bounty hunter played by Jericho while dealing with indications of an even more terrifying presence nearby.

They must figure out how to shield her before the true monsters arrive. Jericho stated, "I've always been a huge horror fan, and I Am the Teeth has everything I love about the genre — scary monsters, gory kills, a clever storyline and plenty of twists!"
