Jack Harlow’s ’White Males Can’t Leap’ Remake Has Its Sidney — Not Quavo

We discovered final month that Jack Harlow has already been confirmed to star in a remake of the 1992 hoops hustler traditional White Males Can’t Leap. Whereas Harlow is a lock to play Woody Harrelson’s Billy Hoyle function, Quavo had thrust his identify into the ring to play Wesley Snipes’ Sidney Deane character. In a seemingly random encounter with a TMZ paparazzo, Quavo mentioned, “I believe they should name me so me and Jack Harlow can do it. I have to play Wesley Snipes’ function. Huncho and Harlow, let’s do it.” Whereas the above-average basketball abilities that Quavo flashed eventually yr’s NBA All-Star Weekend Celeb helped notch him a job as a playable character on the NBA 2K22 online game, he doesn’t actually have a lot of an performing resume to talk of.

To be honest, neither did Harlow, who apparently wowed sufficient in his audition for the “First Class” rapper to assert the starring function in producer Kenya Barris’ (Blackish) reboot. However Quavo formally gained’t be becoming a member of Harlow within the movie as 37-year previous Sinqua Partitions — who you could know from Teen Wolf, The Breaks, and Friday Evening Lights — has been solid in Wesley Snipes’ Sidney Deane function, based on Deadline. Whereas the pipe dream of a Huncho and Harlow silver display pairing was interesting, having a longtime actor as a co-star might be a greater method for the movie to be taken severely.
