No Mr. T in the new 'A-Team' movie

Mr. T will not do a cameo in the new "The A-Team" movie because he's too busy playing World of Warcraft. Okay, while the first part of this is true, the second isn't. You really won't get to see him in the flick.
Joe Carnahan's "A-Team" is on track for a June 11, 2010 release, and Mr. T was previously asked to appear in the big-screen adaptation of the popular TV series. He declined, and now we know why.
Latino Review's George 'El Guapo' Roush recently talked to T, who mentioned he refused to be in the film because it wouldn't feel right to him, partly because his B.A. doesn't have a main role.
Says Roush: "What's wrong with the film that they need him to make a cameo? Plus they would market the film with him being in it, and he didn't want his friends and family to think he would have some big role when he wouldn't. He told me he has nothing against the cast or even the fact that they're doing a remake."
So there you have it: Mr. T is simply not interested in appearing in the "A-Team" flick. To be honest, I would have loved to see him in it, but what the hell, I'm sure the new cast will deliver the goods too.
Liam Neeson is already on board to play Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will be playing B.A. Baracus. Bradley Cooper plays Faceman, and Sharlto Copley is Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock.
