Former St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner is known for his stutter-step into the NFL that launched his astronomical rise to fame. Now, filmmakers are hoping a new biopic about the native Iowan's life, dubbed "American Underdog," can do the same after its own false start due to COVID-19 delays.
"American Underdog," a biopic of Warner's life, opens on Dec. 25, starring Zachary Levi ("Shazam!," "Chuck") as the titular Super Bowl-winning quarterback Kurt Warner.
The film was originally planned to be release in winter 2020. However, COVID-19-related delays pushed the film's release date to Christmas Day 2021.
