Summary

Mick Foley has joined the upcoming A24 deathmatch documentary in a voiceover role.

The update came directly from Foley, who said he was recording narration for the film and hoped to attend the premiere. The documentary is being produced by Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou.

The project already has a direct wrestling connection beyond Foley's involvement. As previously reported, the Philippou brothers worked with Game Changer Wrestling and Lucha Libre Vanguardia on Deathmatch Mexican Rush in Pachuca, Mexico in September 2025, where an Exploding Barbed Wire Match was filmed for the documentary. That match featured Michael Philippou teaming with Rina Yamashita against Ciclope and Miedo Extremo.

Mick Foley's role in the A24 project

Foley's presence gives the documentary a recognizable voice from one of wrestling's most closely associated deathmatch figures, which should help the film land with both longtime fans and viewers coming to the subject fresh.

It also suggests the production is still moving forward even after the brothers said in June 2025 that they were aiming for an early 2026 premiere. There still is not a release date update, but adding Foley to the narration side is a notable sign of progress.

Foley has remained active around wrestling projects and appearances in recent months, including a surprise OVW Rise appearance as guest referee in a main event street fight.
