A biopic titled "Dark Horse" about Brazil's jailed former president Jair Bolsonaro is in production, with Jim Caviezel starring as Bolsonaro. The film, directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh, presents a heroic vision of Bolsonaro based on his 2018 presidential campaign. This announcement coincides with Bolsonaro's son, Flavio, confirming his candidacy in the 2026 presidential election, seeking to challenge President Lula. Jair Bolsonaro, currently imprisoned for attempting to overturn the 2022 election results, has endorsed Flavio as his successor. Caviezel's involvement has drawn attention due to his past association with far-right circles and politically charged roles. Bolsonaro remains barred from holding office until 2030.
