<p>It looks like another project about the life of the legendary Mike Tyson is in the works. However, this time it will be through a biopic series that will stream on Hulu and will star none other than Trevante Rhodes.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="https://deadline.com/2021/05/iron-mike-trevante-rhodes-to-star-as-mike-tyson-hulu-biopic-series-1234765302/">Deadline</a></em>, production for the series is set to start later this year and will reportedly feature eight parts. According to the synopsis, the series will &#8220;explore the wild, tragic and controversial life and career of former world champion Tyson.&#8221;</p>
<p>Back in February, Tyson called out Hulu after they announced the series and said, &#8220;Hulu’s announcement to do an unauthorized mini-series of the Tyson story without compensation, although unfortunate, isn’t surprising.&#8221; He continued to call the streaming service out for &#8220;cultural misappropriation,&#8221; and called their initial announcement &#8220;tone-deaf.&#8221;</p>
<p>As many of you know, another Mike Tyson project starring <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/jamie-foxx-set-to-play-mike-tyson-in-new-biopic-series-titled-tyson/">Jamie Foxx</a></em> has been in the works. Back in March, Tyson made it clear that the project with Jamie is the one that is authorized.</p>

<p>Craig Erwich, the President of ABC Entertainment and Hulu Originals spoke about their upcoming series and said, &#8220;Biographical pictures are a fan favorite and a staple of the movie and television business and frequently the subjects are not involved. We have a strategy of taking a modern lens and applying it to stories and figures of popular culture of the past. We’ve had a lot of success doing that and I think it reveals interesting things, not just about where we’ve been but where we are so we’re looking forward to continuing the creative conversations behind <em>Iron Mike.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Trevante Rhodes has starred in the Academy Award-winning film &#8220;Moonlight,&#8221; Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Bird Box,&#8221; and most recently Hulu&#8217;s &#8220;The United States vs. Billie Holiday<em>.&#8221;</em></p>
