The Dennis Rodman Movie Sounds a Lot Like 'The Hangover'

Today, in casting news absolutely too good not to share: Jonathan Majors might just dye his hair green (or pink, or blonde or red) and become Dennis Rodman.

On Thursday afternoon, Deadline reported that Majors is "very much on board" to play Rodman in 48 Hours in Vegas. If you haven't heard of the film until now, 48 Hours in Vegas will dramatize the time the Chicago Bulls hooper jetted away to Sin City during the 1998 NBA Finals. The escapade drew renewed interest in 2020, thanks to The Last Dance, which made a brief pit stop in the middle of all the beefing to tell the tale. 48 Hours in Vegas will be produced by comedy masterminds Phil Lord and Christoper Miller, of LEGO Movie and 21 Jump Street fame.

“Dennis refused to follow the herd,” said Lord and Miller when Deadline broke news of the film in the summer of 2021. “That is what made him a target and it’s also what made him a star. His weekend in Las Vegas is full of fun and high jinks but it is also full of important questions about the way public figures, and workers are treated, especially when their individuality is expressed so vividly.”

Majors's 10-minute-long spot as He Who Remains in the Loki finale is all I need to see, in order to know how damn juicy he'll find the part. I'm not sure if you've heard, but Rodman is a pretty wild dude! So it makes sense that Lionsgate, the studio behind 48 Hours in Vegas, seems to be making The Hangover 4 here. If Majors is the Worm, we're fully behind it.
