Ice Cube Wants to Join ‘The A-Team’

LA Times chatted with rapper/actor Ice Cube who made it clear that he would like nothing more than to play the role of BA Baracus in the upcoming big screen adaptation of “The A-Team.”

“Man, I am so ready to play BA Baracus. I was a big, big Mr. T fan,” said Cube . “I mean, c’mon, Clubber Lang [in “Rocky III”) was amazing. I even watched his Saturday morning show, but that was cheesy. I was like everybody else, I watched it for about six weeks and said, ‘Man this isn’t any good.’ But the ‘A-Team,’ I would love for this to happen.”

At this point, director John Singleton (Boyz n the Hood) has been named as the director, Bruce Willis has been rumored to take the role of Col. Hannibal Smith and Woody Harrelson to play “Howlin’ Mad” Murdock. Cube confirmed that even though there is currently a set release date of June 12th 2009, the fate of the film is very much unknown. “Everything is in limbo,” he said.

Fans have already voiced their opinions of Cube taking over the role Mr. T made so famous. He’s simply not right for it.   Who do you think should play the big bad BA Baracus?
