Who could play the role of AJ in a film?

[IKSRTFO]

Dwayne Johnson will be too old, when Joshua deserves a movie about himself. Anyway Johnson fits this role only size-wise, but not ethnically.

C'mon duke! A little artistic license! I really don't care. He's 22 fights into a career that will most likely be near 40 or more fights. It's early, yes?

His career is already pretty impressive, but not stellar. After the situation between him and Fury with Wilder is finally resolved, it'll be clear, who'll deserve a movie about himself.

No his career is not impressive. Nothing he's done has even made him a hall of famer let alone an ATG.

..a solid documentary will suffice at this point..

,,,Like Showtime's Ring Resume. (should be updated to reflect Pov win)

Not enough boxing movies out there, but there’s many more boxers I’d like to see have their lives come to life on the big screen, more than AJ.

Foreman & Frazier for example, Joe Louis, Emmanuel Steward, Jersey Joe Walcott and Henry Cooper.

[lazboy]

Looks like I was right and Wilder will be playing AJ.

Give him a chance he's only had 22 fights. The whole biopic idea is premature to say the least, but don't blame Joshua he's not the one suggesting it.

[Boxing Prospect]

I want a good Hyun Mi Choi movie first, her life is made for a good script... The evil North Korea, the stealing manager, the refugee story...

DOH!

Jury's still out on whether or not he'll be movie worthy by the end of it all.

Yeah, no doubt, but we're thoroughly into the satire at this point.

Exactly. Which was the point of this thread. Forrest Whitaker has me dying.

[ewenhay]

Frank Bruno would play Joshua pretty well.

"Where's Eddie?"

RIGHT!? I sure hope AJ doesn't look like this post retirement.

"Where's Eddie?"

I had Eddie in an earlier post being played by none other than Peter Dinklage.

[ewenhay]

Good choice.

Might be a bit too talented for the gig.

A wet lettuce could do the job.

LMAO! Always a good cheer to bash Eddie, or any promotor, really.

It would possibly be the most boring film of all time

"Gorillas in the mist" will always take that trophy.

[lillywhite14]

Blackface is obviously a massive no-no, but if not, I’d be the perfect candidate

[banjo]

Michael Clarke Duncan, if he was younger and not dead.

Sports films are pretty crap to be fair, the best films about sports are documentaries and even most of them aren't great.

[oogiebe]

Ok, so what is the title of the film?

"Way Too Soon: Potential of being an all time great, but also maybe not because we don't know yet."

[chuck9788]

"Universal Pictures" in conjunction with "Eddie Hearn Promotions" brings you ........

[Syntax Error]

Michael Jai White.

He's played boxers before; even played Tyson once too.

Yes, he is 51, but he looks younger and modern CGI can take years off actors.

[The Asleep Lamps]

He reminds me of the heavyweight champion in Harlem Nights but mostly I think he could play himself and be the best at it because he wouldn't be pretending lol.
