However, Ibrahimovic will not star in the movie. The characters are being played by professional actors. But, other than his own biopic being released, Ibrahimovic will be making his Hollywood debut as the footballer will be playing a character known as ‘Antivirus’ for the movie, ‘Asterix and Obelisk: The Middle Kingdom’.
In a career which has spanned from 1991 from Malmo to now 2021, with a one-year contract extension being offered by AC Milan, Ibrahimovic is a legend of the game and has till date played for top clubs in Europe.
However, the only trophy which is missing from his cabinet is a UEFA Champions League trophy. Despite a successful career, Ibrahimovic has not yet won a Champions League final despite playing for top clubs.
The 39-year-old recently came out of retirement to play for Sweden in the ongoing Euros 2020, however, the striker picked up an injury before selection time and hence missed out the opportunity to grace his presence in the Euros.
