Jamie Foxx is incredibly talented so I am confident this will be a smashing success. It show’s versatility to be able to switch it up from Ray Charles to Mike Tyson.
A concrete timetable has not been set for filming. The biopic will feature Jamie Foxx with the legendary Martin Scorsese directing. Sounds like a winning combination, Mike Tyson gave an update on the project courtesy of The Jasmine Brand.
It’s on, as of right now. Jamie Foxx has signed on for it. Filming hasn’t started yet but it’s going to happen. A lot of people aren’t going to like the things I’ve done in my life.
Mike knows it is Jamie’s dream to play him and they have talked about gym work and how he could put him through his paces. The only thing is if they go sparring and Mike connects, Jamie may never make any movie again.
A source familiar with the film also added Foxx’s eagerness to play the role.

As All Eyez Me demonstrated, biopics are an easy thing to get wrong. A great Mike Tyson biopic is what we all need.
If everything goes according to plan the film may come out in late 2018 or early 2019.
