Bruce Willis is playing boxing trainer Constantine ‘Cus’ D’Amato in the drama Cornerman.
There’s something particularly fitting about Willis playing an aging icon who gains a newfound purpose in Friend’s boxing drama, for that reason.
Still, if Cornerman makes a splash when it hits scene (presumably) next year, that could help to get Foxx’s Tyson biopic back up and running.
It should also be noted that Cornerman is a different project than the Mike Tyson biopic that Jamie Foxx has been trying to get off the ground for awhile.
