This Marvel Supervillian will dress up like a drag queen to nail the Rodman look
Majors is keen on starting filming. It is a character that would require a lot of work he says. And he is also looking forward to conversing with Dennis Rodman directly.
More importantly, he is the one who wants to go “full drag” and nail the iconic look. He believes that adding that part in the story will catch the attention of audiences and he says, “Gotta make the movie so whatever it takes.”.
He also adds that it is not something that will 100% in the movie but given his stature he can probably bring it to life. “I don’t know if I can promise that. We gotta figure out what the director wants.”, he says.
Majors, who is set to be Marvel’s next big supervillian and is worth just $2 million at the time of writing, will probably rake in the dollars. Playing Rodman comes with a bag and fame. The original bad boy of the NBA on the silver screen. There is no pressure on Jonathan. However, he needs to come through, for the sake of NBA fans.
