The Rock has taken Hollywood by storm in the last decade, and Dave Bautista has followed in his footsteps with roles in Guardians of the Galaxy and Spectre.

WWE Superstar Sheamus – aka Stephen Farrelly – could be next in line. He plays Rhino henchman Rocksteady in CGI sequel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows - and he's got some other big roles in his sights.

Asked about his dream Marvel part, Sheamus told Digital Spy: "I've always said I want to play Venom, from Spider-Man. Another iconic character."

Of whether he wants to return as Rocksteady for another Turtles movie, Sheamus said: "Absolutely, I'd love to! I had so much fun doing this movie, so much craic doing it - I'd love to have another opportunity to do another one.

"With this movie I think you get a taste of what Bepop and Rocksteady are all about.

"There are so many new characters involved so it's great for the audience, great for the fans of the Turtles as well as the casual fans."

Asked about his previous Turtles fandom, the wrestler said: "I was a huge fan of the cartoons - when they came out they took the world by storm. Turtles everywhere.

"I remember hearing the name... 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - what the hell is that?!'. But I was hit by the bug as well.

"I used to watch the cartoon every morning before I went to school, played the video game at the arcades and was a big fan of the comics."

Asked how involved Michael Bay was during the shoot, Sheamus said: "The first time I met Michael was at the premiere.

"I met with Andrew Form, Dave Green, Brad Fuller on a daily basis whenever I was there. It was a really good experience.

"Michael Bay gave the opportunity to me and was behind the scenes working with all the guys – especially Brad and Dave – on the movie. It was really cool to finally meet him last Sunday in New York."

Of whether he's looking to follow in the footsteps of The Rock and Batista, Sheamus said: "They've carried the torch and led the way.

"I'm trying to continue that and having fun. This whole process is new to me and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

"They've shown that it can be done. When you're in a WWE ring and you do a live show in front of millions of people around the world there's no second takes, there's no cuts, it's happening as you speak, it's out there.

"It's going right to the live camera. That's definitely helped prepare me, and I'm sure helped prepare The Rock and Batista as well for their careers in movies. They definitely compliment each other."

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is in cinemas now.
