Having already cast a number of major supporting roles in Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s long-awaited TV adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s Preacher comic-book series, it seems that the titular role of Jesse Custer has finally had someone attached to it.<\/p>\n

According to a report on The Wrap<\/a>, Captain America: The First Avenger and Mamma Mia star Dominic Cooper is close to agreeing a deal that will see him become the conflicted preacher Custer, who embarks on a quest to find God after gaining supernatural powers.<\/p>\n

If he signs on, he will join an impressive-looking cast that so far includes Ruth Negga (Misfits, Agents Of SHIELD) as Tulip<\/a>, Joseph Gilgun (Misfits, Lockout) as Cassidy<\/a> and Ian Colletti (Phoebe In Wonderland) as Arseface<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So far, so good then. All this needs is a series order, and we could finally be looking at the TV series that Preacher has deserved for so long.<\/p>\n
