Boxer Mike Tyson to play himself in new superhero film ‘Bunny Man’

Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is all set to play himself in an off-beat superhero movie Bunny Man. The film will be shot in Italy. The former heavyweight boxing champion on Tuesday attended a press conference held in the Northern city of Turin with Italian producer Andrea Iervolino and writer Enrico Remmert to announce Bunny-Man, which will be entirely shot in Turin.

Bunny-Man involves a multimillionaire superhero who strikes against evil forces in anonymity, wearing a rabbit mask. He is driven by the desire to avenge his sister who committed suicide after suffering a violent act.

Iervolino, whose production credits include Michael Mann’s Ferrari, Johnny Depp-starrer Waiting for the Barbarians and Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend, is producing the film via his TaTaTu shingle. No details were provided on Tyson’s role. Tyson previously made appearances as himself in films like The Hangover and The Hangover Part 2.
