Audiences who enjoy a good sports movie might find themselves a new one to watch in the coming months as Disney is reportedly coming up with a movie chronicling the life of Giannis Antetokounepo, a player for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA.

Deadline reports that Walt Disney Studios is making the movie for streaming service Disney+, with the title reportedly being Greek Freak. Nigerian film director Akin Omotoso is slated to direct the feature.

According to the publication, the film will tell Antetokounepo and his family's story as they rise out of poverty while living in Greece as undocumented immigrants. The film will highlight the unbreakable bond, determination, and faith that helped the family succeed.

Antetokounepo’s story certainly is movie-worthy. As reported by the BBC, Antetokounepo had a difficult childhood in Greece. Born to Nigerian parents who were undocumented immigrants in Greece, Antetokounepo and his brother could not claim Greek citizenship and found it difficult to find enough money to survive in the country.

To survive, Antetokounepo, his mother, and his brother sold eyewear, accessories, and other cheap fashion items. His life began to turn around when he was drafted to play for the Filathitikos’ youth basketball team, although his lack of Greek citizenship prevented him from playing higher-profile games.

However, it was enough to catch the NBA's attention, with 29 of its 30 franchises coming to Greece to watch him play. Antetokounepo was eventually drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks and was recently named the league’s Most Valuable Player for the second time.

Antetokounepo isn’t the only sports figure that Disney has been courting. A little over three months ago, the studio inked a first-look deal with Colin Kaepernick, which includes a documentary series developed by ESPN Films.

The documentary is reportedly going to cover Kaepernick’s journey to becoming a prominent civil rights activist in the United States after gaining fame as a San Francisco 49ers quarterback. Interviews with Kaepernick, as well as never-before-seen footage, are, reportedly, part of the upcoming documentary, which has journalist Jemele Hill attached as a producer. 

The deal also allows Disney units like Walt Disney Television, Pixar, ESPN, Hulu, and The Undefeated to have first-look rights to projects developed by Ra Vision Media. Ra Vision Media is founded by Kaepernick and intends to highlight the work of directors and producers of color.

In a statement, Kaepernick called the deal “historic” while Disney’s executive chairman Bob Iger praised Kaepernick and his unique perspective.
