And the role of Robocop goes to… Joel Kinnaman

After months of speculation and lots of big names being thrown around, it looks like the role of Robocop in the upcoming Robocop remake will be going to Joel Kinnaman, a guy I’ve never heard of, but that’s a good thing. Sometimes seeing the same old leading actors again and again gets boring.

Kinnaman, who’d take the role originated by Peter Weller in the 1987 Paul Verhoeven original, most recently turned in a memorable performance in Safe House opposite Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds. He burst on the scene in the AMC series The Killing. Before that he starred in Snabba Cash, which was directed by Safe House helmer Daniel Espinosa. Kinnaman, who’s repped by UTA and Magnolia Entertainment’s Shelley Browning, becomes the second high profile casting move made by MGM this week. The studio is in early talks with Dwayne Johnson to play Hercules.
