The 'Creed' star will also be serving as the producer along with Heyday's David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford for the upcoming project, reported Variety.
Warner Bros. has been working on the film for many years now. Several actors including Will Smith and Tom Cruise have shown interest in the project.
