Corenswet Plays Underdog in 'Mr. Irrelevant'
13 Sep
Summary
- David Corenswet portrays NFL player John Tuggle in 'Mr. Irrelevant'.
- The film tells the story of Tuggle, the last pick in the 1983 NFL draft.
- Mr. Irrelevant is set to release on Christmas Day 2026.
David Corenswet, recently recognized for his role in DC Studios' Superman, is taking on a new heroic persona. He will portray the late NFL running back John Tuggle in the biographical sports drama "Mr. Irrelevant."
The film centers on Tuggle's journey after being drafted by the New York Giants in 1983 as the 335th and final selection, earning him the title "Mr. Irrelevant." Directed by Jonathan Levine, the movie aims to deliver a sentimental and inspirational narrative about his life.
Despite Corenswet's imposing 6-foot-4 stature, a trailer line referring to Tuggle as "little man" has generated some amusement. However, this detail doesn't detract from the film's potential, as early screenings are reportedly testing well, especially with women.
"Mr. Irrelevant" is slated for release on December 25, 2026, offering audiences a potentially exciting sports film and an exploration of a man whose life was tragically cut short. Corenswet's performance in this role is highly anticipated.
