Will he get impaled by a snake thrown through his heart by a genetically engineered super warrior created by a secret race of snake men?

Not a bad pick, keeps the character to a type I think old heads will still dig while subtly moving him a bit away from the "all American" type most find a little off putting. That being said, after the recent batman news, I want Steve Buscemi as Cobra Commander opposite him.

You’d think Bradley Cooper would have learned his lesson about not starting in bullshit reboots of lame 1980s IP when he starred in the A-Team movie, but I guess not. Hollywood reminding everyone once again that (1) they are officially out of ideas, and (2) studios are pro-war propaganda factories.

Kevin Weisman! A lousy actor surrounded by brilliant ones. Of course he was insecure on set. Bradley Cooper was so annoyed that he was stuck playing the bland best friend that he begged to be written out. His return guest appearances are great tho.
