Wilder wants to play son of Clubber Lang in 'Creed III'

"Creed II" only recently hit theaters, but Deontay Wilder is already eyeing a role in the next installment of the boxing franchise.

Wilder was asked by TMZ Sports if he'd be interested in playing the son of Clubber Lang, the boxer portrayed by Mr. T in "Rocky III," in a hypothetical "Creed III" film, and indicated that he would.

"Most definitely, most definitely," Wilder said. "That's what I'm all about. You know, my passion is acting. So after boxing, or in the midst of my career, that's what I want to convert to is acting. I want to act like I'm getting hit, not actually get hit."
