Trevante Rhodes Set to Star as Mike Tyson in Biopic Series

This can be a little confusing. We know there is a mini-biopic of Mike Tyson coming up with Jamie Foxx starring as the famed boxer. But don't get confused when you see a different biopic series on Hulu. Actor Trevante Rhodes who starred in Moonlight and The United States vs. Billie Holiday will play Mike Tyson for an upcoming series. According to Deadline, Trevante will be cast in "The Baddest Man on The Planet," which will be a Hulu eight-part series based on the legendary boxer. It will explore Mike's life with the highs and lows. As for Jamie, he is set to star in his own Antoine Fuqua and Martin Scorsese helmed Mike Tyson series that’s in development. By the way, I don't think Hulu had Mike's blessings for this one as he signed up to be involved with the Jamie series, so hopefully they do him right.
