Did You Know?
From the VMA red carpet to the NFL draft, ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ stars spark early buzz.
David Corenswet and Isabel May turned the MTV Video Music Awards into an unofficial launch pad for their upcoming film, strolling the Peacock Theater’s red carpet together on September 27. The duo will also step onto the stage as presenters, giving fans a first glimpse of the chemistry that drives the true‑story drama.
‘Mr. Irrelevant’ follows the unlikely rise of John Tuggle – the final pick of the 1983 NFL draft – as he battles expectations under rookie head coach Bill Parcells. Written by Nick Santora and directed by Jonathan Levine, the film promises a gritty underdog tale that stretches beyond the gridiron, spotlighting love, perseverance, and the grit of a young Giant.
The movie is slated for a Christmas Day theatrical debut, with its trailer already rolling in theaters and online. Corenswet, fresh from his lead role in the latest Superman reboot, arrived in a crisp Dunhill suit, while May, known for her turn in Paramount+’s “1883” and “Scream 7,” added star power to the VMA night. Their early promotion hints that the studio is counting on the buzz to carry the inspirational story into the holiday box office.
