Epps, 51, wore an olive green flannel top over a white shirt with a navy scarf around his neck. The actor topped it off with dark blue jeans and white Nike sneakers.
Snoop Dogg is producing the film with black creator Kenya Barris for his Death Row Pictures.
The film’s storyline follows the character of Snoop “2J” Jaycen Jenning, a former NFL star who coaches a youth football team in an effort to revive his career after breaking the law. Charles Stone is directing the film, which was written by Danny Segal and Isaac Schamis.
The rapper said in a statement, according to Deadline, “The Underdoggs is a real personal project for me considering I’ve been coaching football for over 15 years with the Snoop Youth Football League which I started with my business partner from long-time Constance Schwartz-Morini.

“Giving back to the community through football has taught us so many priceless life lessons that we have been able to share with children in situations similar to mine when I was growing up. I hope this film sheds light on the realities that children and adults face in the neighborhood and in the complex world of football.
“Snoop’s longstanding commitment to his community through his youth soccer league is hugely inspiring to all of us at MGM,” the company’s chief operating officer, Chris Brearton, said in a statement. “We are thrilled to work alongside this incredible creative team to bring this great comedy to audiences and to further MGM’s commitment to theatrical exposure when it hits theaters next October.”
Said Schwartz-Morini: “We have assembled the perfect team, from MGM to the creatives led by Kenya, to make this film a reality. I’m thrilled to draw on my 10 years in the National Football League and broader work in the sports and entertainment industry to help Snoop bring this movie idea to life.
The film is tentatively set to hit theaters on October 20, 2023.
