Details On Jay Baruchel’s Role In Robocop

As an extra bonus in the news that broke earlier this week that Jackie Earle Haley was set to play Maddox in the Robocop reboot (the guy who trains the cyborg police officer), it was revealed that Jay Baruchel was nearing a deal to join the already outstanding cast. Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we know who he’ll actually be playing. Baruchel will play “the head of marketing for Omnicorp, the company that is building the police cyborg.”

It’s an interesting casting choice; Baruchel is more well-known for comedic roles (in the likes of Knocked Up) but he obviously wants to broaden his range, and I think this is a great opportunity for him to show off his skills. Anyway, what do you think? Sound off below.
