Rampage Jackson to be the New BA Baracus in the A-Team movie

HOLD onto your hats ...TV legend MR.T's replacement in the new A-Team movie has been confirmed.

UFC fighter QUINTON 'RAMPAGE' JACKSON is set to fill the infamous role of BA Baracus in the forthcoming remake.

A-Team ... Mr.T and George Peppard

The 6,1" American is a mixed martial artist and a former UFC Light-Heavyweight title holder.

Like Mr.T he is a devoted Christian and he has appeared in several acting roles to date, however he is set to hit the big time with this movie.

LIAM NEESON and Nip/Tuck star BRADLEY COOPER are already confirmed for the film.

Neeson will play Hannibal, while Cooper will take on the role of Face.

Rappers THE GAME and 50 CENT had both been in the running for the role, and earlier this week it was rumoured that The Game was actually confirmed as the new BA.

However, studio execs finally picked the charasmatic UFC star to star in the film after weeks of auditions.

The film is currently being filmed in Canada and is set for release next year.

Let's hope Quinton lives up to his predecessor, he'll go down in history if he does...
