CM Punk Dives into the Dark Side with His Role in ‘Night Patrol’ and Reveals Horror Insights

January 11, 2026

Phil Brooks (CM Punk) Interview | Night Patrol

Phil Brooks, better known as CM Punk, talks about stepping into the world of Night Patrol as Deputy, kicking off 2026 with a bang across film, wrestling, and pop culture. He reflects on the collaborative process of building dialogue that feels natural, trusting the script while shaping delivery, and working closely with the creative team to make the character feel authentic.

The conversation also covers the fun side of production — time in the special effects makeup chair, wild props, choreographing intense moments, and sharing scenes with Justin Long. Punk opens up about why horror remains one of the most exciting genres, how it allows for bold storytelling, and why social commentary feels especially important in genre films today.

We also touch on what’s next, balancing multiple worlds, and why Night Patrol stood out as a project that blends tension, entertainment, and something meaningful beneath the surface.

Synopsis:
An LAPD officer must put aside his differences with local street gangs when he uncovers a horrific secret within a police task force — one that threatens the residents of the housing projects he grew up in.

Night Patrol opens exclusively in theaters on January 16, 2026.
