David Corenswet stars in the biopic "Mr. Irrelevant," playing John Tuggle, a late New York Giants running back. The film, directed by Jonathan Levine, tells the story of Tuggle's final months before his death. According to TheWrap, Tuggle was a player who made it through training camp and preseason to earn a special teams spot on the Giants' 53-man roster in 1983.
Tuggle's life took a turn when he was diagnosed with cancer. Despite undergoing chemotherapy, he fought to keep his spot on the team, inspiring his teammates. The Giants went on to win Super Bowl XXI, and during the game, they wore Tuggle's jersey number, No. 38, as a sticker on their helmets.
The film, which also stars Michael Shannon as Bill Parcells, Isabel May, and David Krumholtz, is set to premiere on Christmas Day, distributed by Paramount and Skydance Sports.
