Mike Tyson ventures into superhero movies - Did Marvel or DC manage to recruit Iron Mike?

Mike Tyson is gearing up for a new role, but this time it's not in the boxing ring. The former heavyweight champion is set to play himself in "Bunny-Man," a unique superhero film being shot in Italy.

At a press conference in Turin, Tyson joined Italian producer Andrea Iervolino and writer Enrico Remmert to unveil details about the upcoming movie.

"Bunny-Man" follows the story of a wealthy superhero who fights against evil forces while concealing his identity behind a rabbit mask.

The character is motivated by a desire to seek justice for his sister, who tragically took her own life after a harrowing incident went viral online. Produced by Iervolino's TaTaTu, known for its involvement in acclaimed projects like "Ferrari" and "Waiting for the Barbarians," "Bunny-Man" promises to push the boundaries of creativity with 95% of the film shot on a virtual set.

Not much is known about Tyson's role in the film

Tyson's role in the film has not been disclosed yet, adding to the intrigue surrounding the project. The boxing legend's presence in the cast is expected to bring a unique dynamic to the superhero narrative, as he did wit his roles in "The Hangover" and "IP Man 3".

While details about the film's director and the rest of the cast remain undisclosed, Tyson's involvement has sparked anticipation among fans.

With production underway in Italy, audiences eagerly await further updates on "Bunny-Man" and Tyson's contribution to this unconventional superhero saga.
