The biopic, helmed by writer/director Ash Avildsen, is based on the acclaimed 2009 book of the same name, chronicling the life of revolutionary female wrestler, Mildred Burke. Despite the challenges, the film continues to progress, with filming currently underway in Louisville, Kentucky, and «Arrow» alum Emily Bett Rickards taking on the titular role. Originally slated to feature prominent WWE stars in significant roles, the production faced a setback as both Charlotte Flair and Liv Morgan had to withdraw from their roles due to various reasons. Flair, the former WWE Women's Champion, was initially set to portray June Byers, one of Burke's legendary opponents.
