He Will Be Rocky

Boxing movies are having a moment.

Jake Gyllenhaal recently starred in Southpaw. Creed is a blockbuster. Miles Teller and Édgar Ramírez are about to enter the ring.

And now comes word that Jeremy Renner is fixin’ to star in Undefeated: The Rocky Marciano Story, an authorized telling of the story of the heavyweight champ who held the title from 1952 to 1956, retiring undefeated, 49-0, at 32, and dying in a plane crash in 1969.

This one...could be the awards bait knockout that Renner has been looking for.
