Blackfilm is reporting that District 9 star Sharlto Copley is rumored to be joining the upcoming A-Team film as Howlin’ Mad Murdock. The film is directed by Joe Carnahan (Smokin Aces, Narc) and also stars Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson. /Film reports that the following have all been interested at one point: Jim Carrey, Steve Buscemi, Timothy Olyphant, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Chris Pine and Robert Downey Jr.
With principal photography planned to start soon look for more official casting announcements in the coming weeks. I would love to see Copley in another role. I thought he did a fantastic job in District 9 as a fresh face.
What do you think of Copley? What about Carnahan’s A-Team?
