Luigi Mangione<\/strong><\/a> quickly became one of the most famous alleged criminals in America. In just one week, the 26-year-old data engineer and Ivy League graduate<\/a> was arrested following the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson<\/strong><\/a>. Mangione, who is from an affluent Maryland-based family<\/a>, was charged in connection with 50-year-old Thompson\u2019s murder. His arrest has divided social media, with some praising him for allegedly targeting a wealthy insurance company CEO as many Americans struggle to afford basic medical costs.<\/p>\n

Since the entertainment industry has resurrected some of the most well-known true crime stories into television shows and films \u2014 such as Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story<\/em><\/a> \u2014 social media users are speculating about who could potentially portray Mangione in a future movie or TV show.<\/p>\n

Who Is Brian Thompson?<\/h2>\n

Thompson became CEO of UnitedHealthcare, the insurance division of UnitedHealth Group, in April 2021. He had been with the company since 2004 and previously served as CEO of its government programs, including Medicare and retiree coverage. The late executive\u2019s net worth was reportedly estimated to be $43 million.<\/p>\n

Currently, no one in Hollywood has publicly expressed an interest in producing a film about Mangione, but that hasn\u2019t stopped filmmakers from pursuing adaptations of stories. One of the most popular true crime movies is Netflix\u2019s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile<\/em> starring Zac Efron<\/strong> <\/a>as the 1970s serial killer Ted Bundy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Is There a TV Show About Luigi Mangione?<\/h2>\n

There is also no television series based on Mangione yet. Fans, however, are calling on Ryan Murphy<\/strong> to producer another season of his anthology series Monster<\/em>. The first season focused on serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer<\/strong><\/a>, and the second season concentrated on incarcerated brothers Lyle<\/strong> and Erik Menendez<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
