Rampage to take over Mr. T's role in A-Team remake [Update: On Second Thought...]

Cagepotato has the MMA acting story of the year. 

Rampage will take over the role of B.A. Baracus in the movie revival of The A-Team. Baracus was made famous by Mr. T and next to Clubber Lang in Rocky III and the World of Warcraft commercial this is hands down Mr. T's best work. 

Liam Nesson and Bradley Cooper are also slated to appear in the movie, which should be out next summer. IMDB says that production begins in September so no word on when filming starts and if it will interfer with Jackson's training schedule for his upcoming fight against Rashad Evans in December. Jackson currently trains out of the Wolfslair in England.

So much for UFC 107. Rampage will play B.A. Baracus in the new A-Team movie.
