There's a lot to love about WWE 2K23, from the wide variety of modes and match types that the game has to offer to its record-setting roster of recognizable wrestlers. However, the best thing about the game is arguably its Community Creations section, which allows players to download custom Superstars based on just about anyone or anything imaginable.
Among all of the great user-generated content, WWE 2K23 boasts an impressive selection of custom Superstars based on movie characters, allowing players to get a pretty good idea of how well their favorite movie heroes and villains might fare if placed into the ring. The best movie character CaWs are incredibly realistic too, demonstrating just how much control creators have in this year's installment of the long-running video game franchise.
Austin Powers (Austin Powers)
Mike Myers appeared in plenty of great movies throughout the nineties and early two-thousands, with the likes of Wayne's World and Shrek earning the actor plenty of plaudits. The Austin Powers trilogy was arguably the high point of Myers' career though, with the former SNL cast member playing multiple characters throughout the series, including both the main villain and the titular hero who's tasked with stopping him. Now, sports entertainment fans can test out the international man of mystery's hand-to-hand combat skills for themselves in WWE 2K23.

Darth Maul (Star Wars)
Despite two decades having passed, the Star Wars prequel trilogy gets a lot of flack. Granted, some of this is deserved, but the movies were nowhere near as bad as some people like to make out. For one thing, they featured some fantastic villains, though none are quite as memorable as Darth Maul. With his double-edged lightsaber and aggressive fighting style, it's difficult not to enjoy his fight with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, particularly with Duel of the Fates blaring in the background. Sadly, Duel of the Fates isn't in WWE 2K23, but Darth Maul now is thanks to creator Matttg.

John McClane (Die Hard)
Bruce Willis appeared in plenty of great movies throughout his distinguished career, but Die Hard is arguably the pick of the bunch. The chemistry between his John McClane character and Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber is fantastic and helped to make the movie one of the best and most memorable action movies of all time. It also helped to catapult Willis into stardom, transforming him from a small-screen favorite into one of the greatest action heroes of the day. With that in mind, this fantastic John McClane CaW serves as a fitting tribute.

John Wick (John Wick)
Badass one-liners and huge explosions punctuated the action movies of the eighties and nineties, but things began to change around the turn of the century. Movie-goers began to crave action heroes who were just as deadly with their hands as they were with a weapon, which is where John Wick really excels. Played by Keanu Reeves, John Wick is the epitome of badass and has one of the highest body counts in the history of cinema. He can't kill his opponents in WWE 2K23, but he can kick their asses, as those who download him will quickly find out.

Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)
There are quite a few Harry Potter-inspired CaWs in WWE 2K23 already, but most of them are either too generic or too bland. RANDYGLIMMERSIX's Luna Lovegood is anything but though, managing to perfectly capture the loopy nature of the character. It's also nice to see creators showing a bit of love to some of the series' secondary characters, given that most choose to focus solely on the three main heroes. Those looking for something a little different should therefore enjoy this custom Superstar, particularly if they're fans of the Harry Potter books and movies.

The Mask (The Mask)
Jim Carrey starred in a lot of great movies back in the nineties, with Dumb and Dumber arguably being the highlight. The Mask is still a fantastic movie though, with Carrey's performance as Stanley Ipkiss and his green-faced alter ego managing to hit all the right notes. JTsavage has done an excellent job of recreating the latter in WWE 2K23, not just when it comes to The Mask's iconic yellow suit look, but also his French-inspired attire.

Me3gan (Me3gan)
With ChatGPT continuing to grow in popularity, the release of Me3gan could not have been more perfectly timed. The movie tells the story of an AI-controlled doll that turns on its creators after losing its mind and is one of the best sci-fi horror flicks in recent memory. What starts out as a cute and harmless character quickly transforms into an unstoppable killing machine, which is part of what makes Me3gan such a great fit for WWE 2K23.

Pennywise (It)
Stephen King is one of the greatest authors of all time and has created countless iconic characters throughout his esteemed career. A lot of the novels in his impressive bibliography skew toward horror, but few are quite as terrifying as It. The evil clown Pennywise is one of the scariest literary characters of all time and is equally terrifying when brought to the silver screen. He certainly looks the part in WWE 2K23 too and fits right into some of the game's weapon-oriented game modes.

Snake Plissken (Escape from New York)
Not only did Snake Plissken inspire the character of Solid Snake in the Metal Gear series, but he's also one of the coolest action heroes of all time. Granted, Escape from L.A. is a little bit of a letdown when compared to its predecessor, but the Kurt Russell character still manages to kick plenty of ass while on the streets of Los Angeles, making him a great choice for a custom Superstar in WWE 2K23.

Woody (Toy Story)
A lot of creators have attempted to create non-human Superstars in WWE 2K23, but there aren't too many who have been able to pull it off. Whether SpecialistMonsterESP really did is perhaps a matter for debate, but they still deserve plenty of credit regardless. Their version of Woody from the Toy Story movies is both recognizable and unique, even if the facial texture doesn't look quite right.
