TMZ SPORTS — Deontay Wilder may have created a big-time movie role for himself — because Michael B. Jordan tells us he LIKES the boxer’s idea of playing Clubber Lang’s son in “Creed 3.”
Remember, Wilder — the heavyweight champion of the world — recently told TMZ Sports he’s gunning for a Hollywood career … and suggested playing the offspring of Mr. T’s famous character in “Rocky III.”
Hey, Michael B. is already playing Apollo Creed’s son … and “Creed II” was all about Ivan Drago’s son … so why not let Clubber’s kid get in on the action???
“It’s a good idea! It’s a cool idea,” Jordan told us in L.A. … while praising Deontay Wilder.
Michael B. told us the ‘Creed 3’ storyline is still up in the air — so it seems like Wilder has a real shot. Plus, Michael pointed out how Sylvester Stallone and his crew have always loved using real boxers in the ‘Rocky’ movies.
The one big issue … Michael pointed out Deontay (at 6’7″) is way bigger than Clubber Lang … since Mr. T is only 5’10”.
But, don’t worry … our photog came up with a solution right on the street.
