Flair, whose real name is Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr, has been cast opposite Six Feet Under star Freddy Rodriguez in the new film.
The film is currently in pre-production and is being written by Grammy-nominated director Carlos Suarez.
“I am incredibly excited to be a part of this film,” Flair wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
“You will have fun,” added the fighter.
You Lose You Die will follow the story of a sociopathic technology expert named Mr. Fantastik, according to the Deadline report.
Flair’s character will be Ms. Perfect, who runs a “popular dark web show” alongside Mr. Perfect.
The 14-time WWE Women’s Champion made her acting debut in 2017.
She starred in Psych: The Movie, where she played sidekick Heather Rockrear.
Flair is currently recovering from a serious injury suffered in the ring last year.
She had to be helped out of a Friday Night SmackDown contest with Asuka last December and underwent knee surgery weeks later.
Scans revealed that Flair suffered a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus.
The injury was expected to keep Flair out of the ring until October of this year.
“I feel supported in every way. It took me a few days and a LOT of tears to understand it all,” Flair wrote on social media in January.
“I happen to be an expert at overthinking and this is the first time I’ve been really scared.
“I’m afraid of the unknown, but I also feel like I’m losing what I’m most proud of: being an athlete.
I ran and jumped for the first time last week.

But in a recent, promising update, Flair appears to be making impressive progress in his rehabilitation.
“13 weeks before. I ran and jumped for the first time last week,” she said before Wrestlemania 40 last month, per Ringside news.
No timeframe was provided for Flair’s return.
The 38-year-old made her WWE debut in July 2012 and was promoted to the main roster in 2015.
Known as The Queen, she dominated the women’s division and is a 14-time world champion.
