Ice Cube to Play Mr. T Character in John Singleton’s “A-Team” Movie
Now that John Singleton has officially been signed on to direct the big screen adaptation of the “A-Team” movie there are rumors buzzing online on who will play the team mechanic named “B.A. Baracus” (who was played by 80’s icon Mr. T).
Ice Cube is rumored to be contemplating playing the role. Variety Magazine reports Cube is under consideration for the part. Blackfilm.com took the opportunity to ask him about “A-Team” during a press junket in support of his latest film with Katt Williams and Tracy Morgan, “First Sunday”.
Asked if he’d consider playing Baracus, Cube responded:
“Hell yeah, especially with John Singleton directing,” going on to say that as a fan of the show, the role would be “not a dream come true, but…definitely a good thing to do.”
He then went on to to say:
“I wouldn’t try to duplicate what Mr. T did, but I will have the same impact on you when you were little watching the TV show. I’m going to bring my own flavor to it and I am going to do the mohawk”.
All of this news is heaven for 80’s nostalgia fans and fans of the popular 80’s action show. I personally think that Ice Cube may not be tough enough to play the role. As long as Singleton is involved this movie has a chance in my opinion.
