Sony's George Foreman biopic has added John Magaro, Jasmine Mathews, Sonja Sohn, and more to its cast.
Things are heating up for the production of the yet-to-be-named biopic centered around the two-time world heavyweight champion and household name, George Foreman. Deadline reports that a slew of new cast members have been announced to fill out the ensemble including Jasmine Mathews , Sonja Sohn , John Magaro , and Shein Mompremier . The new roll-out follows the previous casting reveal of Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker , Khris Davis , and Sullivan Jones .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Putting a dramatized spin on the life of the Olympic Gold medalist, the film will focus on Foreman’s incredible life story. Following the stellar athlete beyond his time in the Olympics to earning the title of World Heavyweight champion and his unforgettable Zaire-based Rumble in the Jungle knock-down-drag-out against the legendary Muhammad Ali, the biopic promises to leave no rock unturned.
So far, we know that Davis will lead the cast as Foreman, with Jones facing him down in the ring as Ali. Whitaker will be stepping into the role of Foreman’s trainer Doc Broadus. Whitaker was cast in the role following the heartbreaking, untimely passing of Michael K. Williams who was initially given the part. While we know some key characters, today’s casting reveal didn’t give us any hints about whom the newest actors may play.
