Cast



Production


On October 7, 2016, Universal Pictures hired Barry Jenkins to adapt the documentary T-Rex with the possibility to direct the film.[2] On June 19, 2019, Rachel Morrison was set to make her directorial debut on Flint Strong; Jenkins would produce with Michael De Luca, Elishia Holmes, Zackary Canepari, and Drea Cooper. Canepari and Cooper left the project for unknown reasons.[3]

On November 13, 2019, Ryan Destiny was cast as Shields.[4] On February 5, 2020, Ice Cube was cast as Shields' coach, Jason Crutchfield.[5] Judy Greer was added on May 14.[6] However, on October 29, 2021, it was reported that Cube had left the project after refusing to get vaccinated for COVID-19 to film Oh Hell No for Columbia Pictures, putting the film in turnaround.[7]

Principal photography began on March 11, 2020, but on March 13, production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9] In an interview with The Guardian, Shields stated that production was set to resume in June 2021.[10] However, the project entered a long delay due to being offloaded by Universal. It would be picked up by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and on May 25, 2022, Brian Tyree Henry joined the cast to replace Cube and Oluniké Adeliyi joined to play Shields' mother, with filming resuming later that month.[11] On July 6, 2022, De'Adre Aziza joined the cast as Mickey.[12] On September 20, 2022, Emmanuel Igboke was announced as part of the cast.[13][14]
