Jamie Foxx as Mike Tyson

In 2015, it was announced that would play the lead role in a Mike Tyson biopic. However, the project did not take off due to constant personnel changes. In March 2021, it was announced that a miniseries with Foxx as Tyson was in the works with Martin Scorsese as a producer and director Antoine Fuqua at the helm. The project is reportedly still in the works, and there is no new information on the release date or plot. Although he started as a comedian, Foxx has essayed a wide range of characters in numerous films, garnering critical acclaim with films like Django Unchained, Any Given Sunday, Collateral, and many more. Anticipation around Foxx's Mike Tyson project is relatively high, and fans have been waiting for quite some time now. After having portrayed several complex characters over the years, Tyson's role was set to be a significant turning point in Foxx's career. Fans are, however, still hopeful that the much-awaited miniseries will happen sometime soon in the future. Foxx's most recent projects include and the Netflix show Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!, which he created along with Jim Patterson.
