Porter has been a dependable staple of pop culture since the mid-90s. His roles in films like The First Wives Club, shows like The Get Down, and Broadway musicals like Kinky Boots, he is indeed a multi-faceted actor. He is in the middle of an all-time high with his incredibly groundbreaking role in FX’s Pose.

Additionally, Kay Cannon, the director of Blockers, has been tapped to direct. Casting Billy Porter in the role would turn some heads. However, it could also turn out to be one of the most fun casting choices in recent memory.
