Watch: Mike Tyson Dons the Police Officer’s Avatar in ‘Asphalt City’ Movie Trailer

Mike Tyson is back on the silver screen, and he made a grand and terrifying splash. After recently making an impression in ‘Medellín’, he is back, but this time in the uniform of a police officer in ‘Asphalt City’. While the film has a star-studded cast in Sean Penn, it’s ‘Iron Mike’s’ thumping and authoritative tone that steals the show.

Asphalt City narrates the life of a young paramedic, Tye Sheridan‘s Ollie Cross, who is paired with Sean Penn’s character in the movie. Cross meets the ugly reality of NYC nightlife, where every 911 call is a matter of life and death. In the initial seconds of the trailer, the viewers briefly meet Mike Tyson, who appears to be a serious officer on his job. Take a look at the 57-year-old’s impactful cameo.

Sharing the trailer’s clip on his Instagram handles, Tyson wrote, “‘Check me out in Asphalt City. There’s a fine line between life and death. Watch the official trailer for ‘Asphalt City,’ exclusively in theaters March 29.”

In the trailer, the fans could witness Tyson dragging Tye Sheridan’s character to a police station and declaring, “Just got him from Colorado. I’m putting him in the rut.” The trailer follows another shot of Tyson towards the end but with more animated emotion. His presence in the trailer suggests that fans can expect an extended cameo this time.
