How Dave Franco Feels About Possibly Playing Luigi Mangione in a Movie

Actor Dave Franco told Andy Cohen he is open to playing Luigi Mangione in a biopic, but no one has approached him about it yet, he said during the Tuesday, August 6, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
After Mangione was identified as the suspect, fans quickly singled out Franco, and Franco said he had never received more texts about anything in his life regarding this idea.
Luigi Mangione is held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, facing multiple charges, with his next court appearance scheduled for September 16, 2025.
Franco’s next film, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, is set for November 14, 2025, and he said no one has approached him about playing Mangione yet.
Though a feature film isn’t yet in development, documentaries on Mangione, including one by Alex Gibney, were announced soon after his arrest, suggesting a biopic might follow.
