What This Casting Means For Mark Wahlberg’s Career
Wahlberg Will Continue His Acting Streak
Bratton and Witcher’s script will be based on a Black List scriptCI34written byCreed II’s Sascha Penn. According to the source,the movie will explore the controversial moves made by Hoover during his tenure as FBI director. The report did not state what characters Wahlberg and Brown would play in the story. The Black FBI agent is described as “young,” though his age is not specified, so it’s possible the role could go to 48-year-old Brown.
