Kurt Angle Biopic Films in Development

Kurt Angle, the WWE Hall of Famer and Olympic gold medalist, is set to star in two separate films directed by Ian and Eshom Nelms, focusing on his Olympic journey and professional wrestling career. The first film will detail his rise to Olympic glory in 1996, while the second will cover his time in WWE and TNA, as Angle stated it was 'just too much to put in one movie'. Pre-production is underway, with casting decisions pending, and Michael Keaton and Jon Bernthal are among those being considered for key roles. Angle expressed his excitement, noting that the directors' background as former wrestlers equips them to tell his story authentically. The specific release dates for the films, titled 'Angle 1' and 'Angle 2', have yet to be announced. This unique dual-film approach is a rare instance in wrestling narratives, showcasing Angle's diverse career.
