Trish Stratus Joins Cathy Kelley for Karate Ghost Comedy Movie

ByThomas LowsonProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Trish Stratus has joined the cast of a new movie in the works, a role that could see her share the screen alongside WWE correspondent Cathy Kelley. Stratus will be a part of the upcoming action-comedy Karate Ghost which is currently in production in Stratus\’ native Canada. A press release reads:

\”Trish Stratus stars as Susan Fanshawe, an overenthusiastic pageant-queen-turned-karate-mom whose obsession with martial arts puts her daughter’s dreams in a chokehold. Think a pom-pom-wielding Miss America, with a black belt.\

Karate Ghost is set to have a festival premiere and theatrical release slated for early 2026. The film will also feature David Koechner (Anchorman, The Office), and Steve Howey (Shameless, True Lies), and Jim Belushi among a stacked cast of actors.

For Stratus, this is her latest role outside the ring, as she has been in multiple films and served for three seasons as a judge on Canada\’s Got Talent. It remains to be seen if she gets to share her karate skills against Kelley in the upcoming film.
