According to Deadline, Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan) and Susie Abromeit (Jessica Jones) have joined the cast of King Richard, the upcoming Venus & Serena Williams biopic featuring Will Smith (Aladdin) as the tennis stars’ father Richard Williams.
The Williams sisters went on to become two of the greatest female players in tennis history, with Serena arguably the best ever, with 23 Grand Slam tournament wins.
When his daughters were around the age of four, Richard Williams drew up a 78-page plan for their professional tennis careers.
Schreiber will play real-life tennis coach Paul Cohen, who worked with well-known tennis legends such as John McEnroe and Pete Sampras.
