The former-NWA member turned solo rapper turned Boyz N The Hood actor turned family comedy star is set to fill Mr. T's shoes as BA Baracus in the upcoming A-Team movie.

It's hard to imagine Ice Cube returning to his bad-ass early ways, but he might be able to bulk up a bit, throw on a hundred gold chains and at least look the part.

Ice Cube has apparently been rumoured for a while now...to be the favourite to play B.A in the "A-Team" movie [and] Cube tells Blackfilm.com that he's definitely interested in the gig.

''Hell yeah, especially with John Singleton directing!, the "Are We Done Yet?" star says. ''I wouldn't try to duplicate what Mr. T did, but I will have the same impact on you when you were little watching the TV show. I'm going to bring my own flavor to it and I am going to do the mohawk.''

Sounds like Cube has the role pretty much locked up?

''They want me to do it if all the business works out right. I was a fan as a kid and that would be, not a dream come true, but it's definitely a good thing to do and I would put it on my resume for sure.''
