Paddy Considine and Mena Massoud will star in the Sylvester Stallone produced boxing drama Giant.
House of the Dragon lead actor Paddy Considine is set to star in an upcoming boxing drama, Giant, produced by Sylvester Stallone. Considine starred as King Viserys Targaryen in House of the Dragon, the spinoff prequel series to Game of Thrones. His character was the King of the Seven Kingdoms, and his actions in season 1 of the show led to the ultimate demise of the realm and the Targaryen family. The actor also recently appeared in Peaky Blinders as Father John Hughes.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY According to a report from Deadline, Paddy Considine will star in Sylvester Stallone's upcoming boxing drama. The House of the Dragon actor's involvement in the project was announced alongside the casting of Mena Massoud. Massoud is known for his work in the 2019 live-action version of Aladdin, in which he played the titular character.
“I have wanted to bring this movie to screen for many years. The story of fabled boxing trainer Brendan Ingle and his tempestuous relationship with protege “Prince” Naseem is both legendary and truly cinematic. It’s exciting, necessary, hilarious, and heartbreaking, and to be making this movie with the incomparable Paddy Considine and Mena Massoud, and with the support of the one and only Sylvester Stallone and his Balboa Productions team, is a dream come true.
Giant is now the seventh Sylvester Stallone-produced project in development through his Balboa Productions production company. According to the film's synopsis, the biopic is based on the true-life story of British-Yemeni boxer Prince Naseem “Naz” Hamed and his rags-to-riches ascent to a world championship under the guidance of his Irish boxing trainer, Brendan Ingle .
Giant will continue Sylvester Stallone's storied history of boxing films. Though the veteran performer and filmmaker isn't expected to be in the film in any meaningful capacity, his presence behind the scenes should be felt through what happens on the screen. Stallone most recently produced and starred in the Paramount original streaming series, Tulsa King.
