Earlier this week, it was revealed that Jackie Earle Haley (
Watchmen,
Dark Shadows) had joined the cast of
RoboCop as "Maddox", the man who trains Alex Murphy (set to be played by Joel Kinnaman (
The Killing,
Safe House)). At the same time, it was mentioned that Jay Baruchel was in talks for a role, and thanks to
The Hollywood Reporter, we now have details on who he will play as the actor nears a deal. According to the site, his role will be, "the head of marketing for Omnicorp, the company that is building the police cyborg." An interesting part for an actor best known for taking on comedic roles in the likes of
Knocked Up and
Tropic Thunder. He joins a cast which includes Hugh Laurie, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman and Abbie Cornish.
