In an independent biopic about the former Secretary of State, Morgan Freeman has reportedly been tapped as the guy who will bring Powell’s infamous 2003 speech to life. According to Variety, the film will show Powell “seeking support for the Bush administration’s plan to forcibly remove Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, based on intelligence — later discredited — that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons.”
Freeman is no stranger to biopics. He starred in Invictus, portraying South African President Nelson Mandela. He would receive his fifth Oscar nomination for the role.
