The Rock is bringing Portia Woodman-Wickliffe’s story to the big screen

Portia Woodman-Wickliffe’s incredible rugby career is heading to the big screen.

Portia can add film star to her long list of wins.

She’s dominated on the rugby field for years – now Black Ferns star Portia Woodman-Wickliffe is getting her own movie!

Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has confirmed that his production company, Seven Bucks Productions, is making a documentary about Portia, 35,
calling her “the greatest women’s rugby player of all time”.

A true icon

The Moana star, 54, told fans that Portia “is the straight-up GOAT badass who leads with grit, heart and pride – she’s not only an icon in sports, but an iconic beacon of pride for our Polynesian culture as well. Having lived in New Zealand playing rugby as a kid, I’ve admired Portia for years, and I’m pumped and proud that we have the honour of telling her story.”

Two-time Olympic gold medallist and four-time World Cup winner Portia was named one of the 100 most influential people in sports for 2026 by Time magazine.
