Mania.com and Comics2Film are reporting that Chris Evans (“Push”, “Fantastic Four”) will be joining the cast of the film version of the DC Comics/Vertigo comic “The Losers”.
“The Losers”, from Jock and Andy Diggle released by Vertigo from 2003 to 2006, is about an elite group of black-ops commandoes who are betrayed and left for dead by their CIA handlers and the mysterious man known as Max. Surviving the setup, they wage war against their former bosses and fight to clear their own names and find out why they were selected for being dumped.
Mania.com’s sources report that Evans is in negotiations for the role of Jensen, the fast-talking blonde hacker and techie of the team. He would be joining Jeffrey Dean Morgan (as the Losers’ leader Clay), Columbus Short (as pilot Pooch), and Idris Elba (as the treacherous scarred Roque). Sylvian White is directing for Dark Castle from a script by Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt.
