Jamie Foxx and Netflix have a growing relationship, with him starring in and producing projects for the streaming service. Building on the success of his recent film, *Back in Action*, which topped the charts earlier this year, Foxx is teaming up with Netflix again for a new sports biopic. The film promises to be a moving story, both heartbreaking and uplifting, and the premise already has me emotionally invested.
Filming is underway for *Fight for ‘84*, a new sports drama being shot in New Jersey. The movie, starring Jamie Foxx, tells the story of the U.S. Olympic Team after a devastating plane crash in 1980. It follows a new coach as he rebuilds the team, leading them to an incredible performance at the 1984 Summer Olympics. It’s a truly inspiring story that’s sure to tug at your heartstrings.
Andrés Baiz, the director known for popular Netflix series like *Narcos*, *The Sandman*, and *Griselda*, is directing the new movie *Fight for ‘84*. He’s brought together a diverse cast including *Collateral* star and a mix of both rising talents and established actors like Malachi Beasley, Shea Whigham, Will Chase, Dan Perrault, Mitchell Edwards, Algee Smith, Tre McBride, Xavier Mills, Al-Shabazz Jabateh, and Javier Bolaños. The film promises a blend of fresh faces and seasoned performers.
Jamie Foxx isn’t new to sports movies or biopics about athletes. He famously played a football quarterback in Oliver Stone’s 1999 film, *Any Given Sunday*, and in 2001, he portrayed Drew Bundini Brown in Michael Mann’s *Ali*. Many believe he deserved an Oscar for his performance as Bundini.
Most likely, Andrés Baiz is aiming for an emotionally powerful experience with his new boxing drama. The big question is how deeply he’ll explore the themes of hardship and success. Given his past work on television, it’s reasonable to expect a captivating story brought to life by talented actors.

From a business standpoint, this continues the successful relationship between Jamie Foxx and Netflix. They’ve collaborated on several projects in recent years, including *Back in Action*, *Day Shift*, and the highly praised *They Cloned Tyrone*. In 2024, Netflix released Foxx’s comedy special, *What Had Happened Was…*, which quickly became popular. During that special, Foxx publicly shared details about the serious medical issue he faced in 2023 – a brain bleed that resulted in a stroke.
Jamie Foxx is a remarkably versatile actor. Though he’s famous for his comedy, he’s equally capable in dramatic roles – his Oscar win for playing Ray Charles proves that. As both a sports enthusiast and a fan of his work, I’m excited to see his performance in the upcoming film, *Fight for ‘84*. While a release date hasn’t been announced yet, I hope it comes out sometime in 2026.
