The UK tabloid “The Sun” recently reported that Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has secured the role of BA Baracus for the upcoming A-Team movie. You might remember that the casting for this role has been running around the Hollywood rumor mill for sometime with everyone from Tyrese, Ice Cube, The Game and most recently Common mentioned as the lead for the role. So it came to a surprise to many around here in Hollywood that Rampage was announced as BA. Well now it turns out the announcement came a bit too early as Rampage’s management flat out denies that he has secured the role. In other words…there still is no BA.
Do you think Rampage would be right for the role? Who would you guys like to see take the role of BA Baracus?
Note, if a story comes out of the Sun, do not pass it on. This news item originated in the Sun and many MMA blogs and sites just ran with it without fact-checking or considering more credible film industry sources like IMDB or Variety.
Rampage would probably make the film hilarious, who knows if a director can pull a performance out of him. He’s definitely a character.
