David Ortiz is reportedly set to star as himself in an upcoming movie about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
The Boston Red Sox designated hitter will re-enact his famous "This is our f------ city" speech in "Patriots Day," sources told Tatiana Siegel from the Hollywood Reporter.
Beantown native Mark Wahlberg stars in the Peter Berg-directed flick.
The emotional scene reportedly won't be filmed at Fenway Park, but rather in a hangar at the former South Weymouth Naval Air Station.
