As much as we still see Michael J. Fox at various events – whether to bring awareness to Parkinson’s or partake in Back to the Future reunions – we still miss him. That is, we miss seeing him perform. While Fox hasn’t had a substantial role on the big screen since 1996’s The Frighteners – made a few years after his Parkinson’s diagnosis and two years before he even announced it – he has leaned into television with recurring roles on shows like Boston Legal, Rescue Me and The Good Wife, all of which earned him acclaim. And just like we miss seeing him on screens both big and small, Fox himself misses certain aspects of the art.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Michael J. Fox said what really misses about acting is the collaborative process that a set brings, saying, “You go into something and you say, ‘I know what to do here, I know what to bring to it.’ And then sharing your talent, your energy…That’s the great thing about acting, is it’s collaborative.”
Of course, now Michael J. Fox is collaborating heavily with his namesake foundation, which has raised over $2 billion in research programs for Parkinson’s. His commitment – and that which he has drawn out of people all over – has made him one of the most inspiring figures in pop culture.
Fox even hinted at a possible return to acting, something he has spoken about before. “I would do acting if someone came up that I could put my realities into and my challenges into…” As you might remember, Michael J. Fox did just this in season eight of Curb Your Enthusiasm, where he made light and use of his Parkinson’s diagnosis, much to Larry David’s skepticism. (He would even receive an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.) Fox added, “I could see that…I was good at it…It’s fun to be good at things, it’s really nice.”
Actually getting Michael J. Fox back on the screen doesn’t seem too optimistic, all things considered, but we’ll always have the likes of Marty McFly, Max Eriksson, Alex P. Keaton, Mike Flaherty, and so many more.

After the glitch-ridden presentation of the questionable fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, audiences are primed and ready for more brutal displays of power in the squared circle. Thankfully, Lionsgate is hitting them with a haymaker courtesy of today’s Uppercut trailer, featuring Ving Rhames as a trainer who agrees to mold the mind and body of a new female fighter.
Uppercut marks German writer-director Torsten Ruether’s English-language debut for the adaptation of the filmmaker’s 2021 film Leberhaken. The original film’s star, Luiii, aka Luise Großmann, a former professional pole vaulter-turned-actress, is duking it out alongside Rhames in the upcoming sports thriller. Joanna Cassidy (Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Blade Runner) and Jordan E. Cooper (Pose, Wolf, Mama Got a Cough) add more power to the project’s punch.
Here’s the official synopsis for Uppercut courtesy of Lionsgate:
“Golden Globe winner Ving Rhames and Luise Grossmann star in an electrifying film about Toni, a determined female boxer, trying to break down barriers as she redefines what it means to be a woman in today’s world. When Elliott (Rhames), a tough ex-boxing champion, accepts the challenge to train Toni (Grossmann), the two mismatched characters form an unlikely alliance. Their sparring and Elliott’s keen insights show the resilient young fighter that real strength comes from the challenges you overcome when life throws its biggest punches your way.”
Today’s Uppercut trailer takes place in New York City in 2014. The hard-hitting tale focuses on Toni (Luii) as she seeks wisdom from Elliott (Rhames), a former boxer turned gym owner in Bushwick. Reluctant to train her, Elliott’s guard eventually breaks, and the two form an unlikely union while exploring social, racial, and personal boundaries. The Uppercut trailer depicts a complicated relationship as Elliot hesitates to train Toni after his experiences on the boxing beat, but she’s not about to back down. Toni is determined to rise above people’s expectations to become a fantastic fighter and then pass that knowledge on to the next would-be champion.
What do you think about Torsten Ruether’s Uppercut trailer? Did you see that fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano before Paul and Tyson locked horns? I think the Taylor and Serrano bout was the most intense event of the evening, and I look forward to their rematch if one happens.
Uppercut comes to theaters, Digital, and On Demand on February 28, 2025.
