Looks like Common may be going the way of Cube, as he has signed on to do another flick. The Chi-town rappr told MTV News that he will be starring in a new movie – Wanted – alongside Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman.

The movie, under creative control by Russian director Timur Bekmambetov, is based on the comic book of the same time by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones. It is the story of a man named Wesley Gibson, who discovers that his father (prior to dying) was a supervillain. Gibson, too, has superpowers.

“My character in Wanted is called the Gunsmith,” Common said to MTV News.
“I’m basically this dude that’s a master at shooting guns. I’m training
this gentleman that’s coming in, who really has certain abilities but
doesn’t know it; I’m training him on how to be what he should be.”
