"Lupita Nyong&amp;#039;o and Rachel McAdams are wanted for Southpaw. The actresses are being courted for Antoine Fuqua&amp;#039;s boxing drama, reports Deadline.   Jake Gyllenhaal will star in Southpaw, while Forest Whitaker is apparently still in negotiations for the movie. Gyllenhaal will play Billy &amp;#039;The Great&amp;#039; Hope, a title-winning left-handed prizefighter whose victory is marred by a tragedy. He must get his life back on track and regain the respect of his young daughter. Whitaker would play Titus &amp;#039;Tick&amp;#039; Willis, a former prizefighter who had to retire after losing an eye, with McAdams as the female lead and Nyong&amp;#039;o as a social worker watching out for the child. 12 Years a Slave star Nyong&amp;#039;o will be lending her voice to Disney&amp;#039;s Jungle Book remake. About Time&amp;#039;s McAdams will next be seen in A Most Wanted Man. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
