This is a great idea except for the fact that Wilder is 6’7″ and Michael B. Jordan is 5’10”.
Granted they had Jordan in there with a much bigger guy in Creed II, but they would be pushing it with Wilder unless they want us to believe Jordan is like Mike Tyson in the movie.
If you don’t remember Clubber (shame on you), he was the total BADASS played by Mr. T in “Rocky III” — and the first guy other than Apollo to put something on Rock’s ass.
We got Wilder in NYC, and he told us he DEFINITELY wants to make a serious splash in the film industry and thinks this role could be the one.
“That’s what I’m all about, my passion is acting!”
Think about it … Lang was a big, scary guy who hit like a ton of bricks … and if you’re going to cast another big, scary guy who hits like a ton of bricks, is there anyone better?
FYI — Wilder says he doesn’t look at acting as a side hustle or hobby, telling our guy he wants it to be his full-time career after he hangs up his leather.
Mr. T should have gotten an OSCAR for his role.
