This is gearing up to be the must-see movie event of next year. The A-Team, which will be released in theatres sometime next year, is in talks to sign District 9 star Sharlto Copley as “Howling Mad” Murdock and Jessica Biel as an army general chasing the team.
The news comes on the heels of last month’s announcement that Ultimate Fighter brawler Quinton (Rampage) Jackson has joined the cast as B.A. Baracus, a role made famous by Mr. T, and the previously announced news that Liam Neeson will play Hannibal while Bradley Cooper has been cast as Face.
Speculation has it that if Biel does join the cast, her character will be a revival of the original Amy character, who served as a token female in the original series and had romantic ties to Face. Unfortunately, in the original series that character disappeared towards the end.
If this winds up being the case, Biel and Cooper could have wicked onscreen chemistry, but I will definitely be jealous.
No word on whether any of the original cast members will make any cameos, although I’d love to see Jackson and Mr. T in some kind of scene.
The A-Team is currently filming in Vancouver.
