Exclusive: Chris Pratt is getting back into the ring with a documentary about World Champion wrestler Helen Maroulis.
The Marvel star has teamed up with Religion of Sports, the venture founded by Gotham Chopra, Michael Strahan, and Tom Brady, and Reserve Entertainment on Helen | Believe.
Pratt will produce via his Indivisible Productions banner.
The documentary, directed by Dylan Mulick, follows Olympic champion Helen Maroulis. At just 23 years old, she was competing in her first Olympic Games in Rio against Saori Yoshida, a 13x World Champion and the most decorated wrestler of all time. Yoshida was undefeated for over four straight years – until she stepped onto the mat with Maroulis, who shocked the world and defeated Yoshida to become the first, and only, American woman to win a Gold Medal in wrestling.
Following Rio, Helen went on a winning streak, asserting herself as the best pound for pound wrestler in the world.
