Paul Michael Levesque, aka Triple H, has earned a huge name for himself in the world of professional wrestling. During his time as a wrestler, he participated in several feuds and headlined numerous Premium Live Events. In addition, HHH won several championships within WWE.
Triple H has also gained praise from all over the globe for his behind-the-scenes work at the Stamford-based promotion. As of now, he is the Chief Content Officer and the Head of Creative at the largest wrestling promotion in the world. While pro wrestling fans seem to remember all of that, they might have forgotten about HHH being a part of Wesley Snipes’ Blade franchise.
Hunter played the role of Jarko Grimwood in the movie ‘Blade: Trinity’, and he was featured as one of the secondary villains in the film. But, fans might have forgotten HHH’s presence in the film due to the movie’s poor critical reception. Also, it is a lesser-known fact that Hunter made his Hollywood debut with the 2004 movie Blade: Trinity.

Triple H was one of the early WWE superstars to make a Marvel debut. In fact, he was the first wrestler to be cast in a Marvel movie. Later, several superstars followed suit, Seth Rollins was a part of Captain America: Brave New World, Batista was featured as Drax the Destroyer, Tyler Man starred in X-Men, and more. Henceforth, it can be understood, that HHH’s role in Blade: Trinity holds great significance.
Apart from that, The Game has also appeared in several other movies, including Relative Strangers (2006), The Chaperone (2011), Inside Out (2011), and more. Thus, it seems HHH has not only showcased his dominance inside the squared circle but also on the giant screen.
Triple H talked about his role in Blade Trinity
WWE legend Triple H played an extraordinary character in the movie Blade: Trinity. Back in 2004, prior to the release of the movie, Hunter appeared in an interview with Muscle and Fitness magazine.
During that, he opened up about his role in the movie. He said, “I play the heavy of a group of vampires that’s trying to ensure we become the dominant species on the planet. We’re out to capture and kill Blade.”
HHH added, “You find out later in the film that I’m like Blade in that I’m half-human. That’s why I have steel fangs instead of real ones and powers similar to his. Every time you think Blade and his crew have made their escape, I come out of nowhere.”
In the same interview, he was asked if he had shot any memorable scenes in the movie. To this end, the chief content officer of WWE stated that in one scene in the movie, Triple H, along with the other villains, had the police arrest Blade. They then went to the police department to pick him up; in the meantime, other heroes came to Blade’s aid.
This resulted in a riot breaking out at the police station. Finally, the heroes escaped with Blade, and HHH’s character began to chase them. During that, one of the heroes, Jessica Biel, shot the WWE legend in the eye with an arrow. It can therefore be understood that HHH shared a lot about his role in the movie prior to the release of the film.
Taking a detailed look at Triple H’s movie Blade: Trinity
Blade: Trinity is a superhero movie that was written and directed by David S. Goyer. It was the final installment in the Blade trilogy, the other two being Blade and Blade II.
