Dave Franco shares whether he's interested in portraying Luigi Mangione in a biographical film
Dave Franco Expresses Interest in Playing Luigi Mangione in Potential Biopic
Dave Franco, the actor known for his roles in films such as "Together" and "The Disaster Artist," has expressed his openness to playing Luigi Mangione in a potential biopic.
During an appearance on Andy Cohen's talk show, Watch What Happens Live, Franco responded to fan casting around his resemblance to Mangione. He stated that he wouldn’t be opposed to playing Mangione if the timing and team were right, and added that no one has approached him yet about such a project.
Franco's comments came as he was promoting his new film "Together," a body-horror picture in which he stars opposite Alison Brie. The film, currently in cinemas, has received a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The public interest and casting buzz followed wide discussion of the real-life case, which has already inspired documentaries and stage work, including a San Francisco play, Luigi: The Musical, scheduled for an Edinburgh Fringe run in August 2025.
As of the cited reports, there’s no confirmed development, casting approach, or production attached to Franco as the potential Luigi Mangione. If a film moves forward, producers would need to option rights (if applicable), assemble a creative team, offer a role, and align schedules — any of which could explain why nothing has been offered yet despite public interest.
Franco has not specified who the right people are that he is open to working with on a potential biopic about Luigi Mangione. After "Together," Dave Franco will be seen in "Regretting You," based on a Colleen Hoover novel.
In the meantime, fans will have to wait and see if a Luigi Mangione biopic comes to fruition. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
