The will finally see Jason Bateman in a major role after his extremely successful run in Netflix&#039;s drama Ozark.

After Netflix’s &#8216;Ozark&#8217; Jason Bateman Stars in Another Major Streamer&#8217;s New Project

Its been almost two months since the whole world witnessed the unpredictable
ending of Ozark. The crime drama series was one of the most popular Netflix
Originals to date, and a huge part of the credit goes to the man Jason Bateman
himself. Apart from starring as Marty in the series, Jason wrote and even
directed a few episodes of the show. But after the show’s thrilling conclusion,
the American actor took a short break.

And since April, there has been no news regarding any project that Jason might
have picked until now. Finally, after enjoying the success of Ozark, Jason is
ready to step back, but this time with another streamer.


JASON BATEMAN TO STAR IN A NEW SERIES BESIDE BEN AFFLECK

Bateman has been cast as one of several A-listers in Amazon’s unnamed Nike
drama. Ben Affleck directs as well as stars in the project.

The movie shall tell the tale of how maverick trainer salesman Sonny Vaccaro
founded the running shoe business Nike and signed Michael Jordan as its first
big-name collaborator.

The rags-to-riches story, starring Matt Damon as Vaccaro, began filming earlier
this week in Los Angeles, California. 

Rob Strasser, a veteran Nike executive and attorney-turned-branding-guru who
handled the company’s marketing and message across all sports, will be played by
Bateman. Strasser played a key role in Nike’s efforts to sign (and later
promote) Jordan.
