Unstoppable is one of many films that had production shut down during the Hollywood strikes, but it will soon go back to business! Don Cheadle, Michael Peña, and Bobby Cannavale are the latest stars to join Jennifer Lopez and Jharrel Jerome in this promising biopic.

Based on Anthony Robles’ true life story, this film will center on an NCAA Division I champion wrestler who was born without a right leg and managed to overcome many obstacles to win a national championship against the school that once rejected him.

Based on the book Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion by Anthony Robles and Austin Murphy, this film was adapted for the big screen by John Hindman, and it will be directed by the Oscar-winning Argo editor William Goldenberg.

Unstoppable marks Amazon MGM Studios’ second collaboration with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company Artists Equity following the success of Air. It stopped filming after the WGA Strike kicked off, and it will go back to production on December 12.

The Oscar-nominee Cheadle most recently appeared in Noah Baumbach’s White Noise and Disney+ series Secret Invasion. Peña is fresh off playing the lead role in A Million Miles Away, while Cannavale appeared in the Netflix comedy Old Dads earlier this year.

Steven Soderbergh is ready to kick off the production of his next project No Sudden Move, and its cast is looking pretty epic. David Harbour, Benicio Del Toro, Jon Hamm, and Don Cheadle will take the lead roles in this promising crime thriller that’s coming to HBO Max.

Known by the working title Kill Switch, this film is set in 1950s Detroit and follows a group of small-time criminals brought together under mysterious circumstances, who are forced to unravel a huge mystery after the job they were hired to do goes sideways.

In addition to Harbour, Del Toro, Hamm, and Cheadle, the star-studded cast of this project also includes Amy Seimetz (Upstream Color), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), Kieran Culkin (Succession), Brendan Fraser (The Mummy), Noah Jupe (Honey Boy), and Julia Fox (Uncut Gems).

The project started shooting on-location in Detroit under strict COVID-19 safety protocols. Soderbergh said he’s “very excited behind [his] mask right now” because things worked out really well the last time he shot a movie in Detroit with a great script and a great cast.

Space Jam 2 has just scored a major addition to its cast. 

Don Cheadle has been tapped to star in Warner Bros’ sequel to the 1996 hit, which is currently in production.

While Cheadle’s casting has been confirmed, no further details are known about which role he’s set to play.

Cheadle joins LeBron James in the follow-up to the original that starred Michael Jordan and featured cameos from a number of NBA all-stars who starred alongside classic Looney Tunes characters. The original was a major hit grossing over $230M at the global box office. 

Cheadle currently stars in the 1980s-set Showtime comedy Black Monday. He also starred in the second-biggest-grossing film of all time, Avengers: Endgame. His upcoming projects include the sci-fi drama series Don’t Look Deeper for Quibi.

The reboot directed by Terence Nance opens in theaters July 16, 2021.

A phone call during Don Cheadle’s daughter’s birthday party changed his life.

The Avengers: Endgame actor has been playing the role of James Rhodes aka War Machine since Iron Man 2 in 2010, but the role wasn’t always his.

Cheadle only joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Terrence Howard told producers he could not return to the role which he originated in the first Iron Man.

During an interview on the podcast The Big Ticket, Cheadle revealed that he only had an hour to decide if he wanted to take over when phoned by producer Kevin Feige and star Robert Downey Jr.

“‘You just gotta take a leap of faith,’” Cheadle remembered them saying. “But that’s, like, ten years. That could be twelve years that we’re talking about,” said Cheadle. “I said, ‘Well, I’m at my daughter’s birthday party.’ They said, ‘Oh, take two hours.’”

Looks like he made the right decision!
