The rumors started last week as his follow-up to "District 9," Sharlto Copley would take a role as Captain H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdoch in the "A-Team." Now the rumors have made it to "Variety" with an added twist-- Copley is bringing Jessica Biel with him.
The trades say that Biel will play the ex-girlfriend of Bradley Cooper's character, Faceman, while Liam Neeson and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson remain as the other members of the elite squad. None of this casting is official yet, of course, and the Copley news remains the most interesting part, given that everyone wants more of him after his "District 9" acting debut. But Jessica Biel's fans, and I have to assume there are many, probably won't be complaining about her showing up either.
