Trevante Rhodes Picture

"Moonlight" and "The Predator" star Trevante Rhodes has signed on to play controversial heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson in the eight-part limited series "Iron Mike"

The series, which hails from "I, Tonya" writer Steven Rogers and helmer Craig Gillespie, will explore the wild, tragic and controversial life and career behind one of the most polarizing figures in sports culture.

"Mixed-ish" showrunner Karin Gist will serve as executive producer and showrunner on the series. Rhodes will also executive produce alongside Rogers, Gillespie and Margot Robbie. Gillespie will direct.

Tyson has criticized the Hulu project, calling it "tone-deaf cultural misappropriation". He is producing a separate limited series based on his life directed by Antoine Fuqua and executive produced by Martin Scorsese, which will star Jamie Foxx in the lead role.
