David Corenswet Joins Cast of Mr. Irrelevant

David Corenswet, known for his role as Superman in the upcoming DC Studios film, is set to star in Skydance Sports' biopic 'Mr. Irrelevant,' which tells the inspiring story of John Tuggle, the last pick in the 1983 NFL draft. Directed by Jonathan Levine and written by Emmy-nominated Nick Santora, the film highlights Tuggle's impactful career with the New York Giants and his legacy despite the nickname 'Mr. Irrelevant.' Tuggle was recognized as the team's Special Teams Player of the Year before his career was cut short by cancer. Corenswet's decision to join the project followed a meeting with Levine, after he had considered multiple scripts. The film is part of a growing trend of sports movies focused on underdog stories, similar to classics like 'Remember the Titans.' Corenswet's portrayal is expected to build on his rising fame following his Superman role, which has garnered significant anticipation.
