Comments Thread For: Wilder: If Opportunity Comes For Creed 3, I'm The Man For The Job

Yea I like this idea. You could have Wilder be Wilder. You dont even have to invent a character for him to be. Hes enough of a character already. Creed vs Wilder!!! Lets do it.

This could work. Great way to raise his profile further

So, Wilder would lose in movie, at least. Bad guy always loses.

That just reminded me how fun it was seeing Andre Ward get KOed in Creed 2.

One of the replies on the facebook comments "They should name his character Tudis Dey"

They should have Wilder. Like real life he can play a delusional paper champ that's mocked.

He could duck fights in the movie, it would be typecasting but you know he can play the part well.

If you had Wilder as Wilder the big fight in the movie would never get filmed. Wilder would just duck the fight and insist on fighting Ortiz instead. It would ruin the script.

Clubber Lang never ducked anyone so what you say is true in terms of credibility. Fans will watch and have to ask would Clubber turn down 100 million because he's betting on himself ? It would be another watered down sequel where the son didn't meet the the expectations like Drago Jr. .

Yeah, go get em there "hollywood".........Creed loved his country, don't think you cut out for the roll mang.

Clubber Lang was an orphaned street kid, caught up in crime, who went to prison, learned to box, basically self taught the rest of the way, got to his world title shot, won the title, lost the title, and then vanished from the story.

No family, no kids, no coach, no gym, nothing; to try and create something now for Clubber Lang would seem to be a waste of effort to me.

Unless you want to pull a George Foreman-esque story (after losing the title, Lang disappears, only popping up as an Evangelist/preacher years later, in the Alabama/Mississippi/Georgia region. Eventually he finds a woman for him, settles his Church, and then his son emerges), getting to Wilder from Lang is beyond tough (Could actually play Wilder's possible character up as a preacher's son, giving his everything to his father's church when, at 19/20, he sees that he just might be able to fight a bit).

[Scipio2009]

They've already done the foul-mouthed, aggressively angry, wannabe-gangsta type of antagonist; and Mr T played the role better than Wilder does in real life.

You don't have to play that role though.

[Scipio2009]

Wilder is too tall (They usually use cruiserweights in Rocky films), doesn't look physically scary and I can imagine he would be the worst actor ever

Wilder and Fury seem to be giving up on boxing already

... They just used a legit 6'4 250lb guy in Creed 2, after using a 6'3 220lb guy for Creed.

6'7" is a lot to work into a screen, but let's not act like it's some impossibility
