We just keep getting more and more reasons to get excited about the upcoming Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps! I was already very pumped that Gordon Gekko (played by Micheal Douglas) was returning to the screen, but now they’ve just added one of my new favorite actors, Javier Bardem as the villain.
The folks over at Movie Moron give us this:
Javier Bardem will play the villain in Oliver Stone’s sequel to his 1987 examination of greed and excess Wall Street. He joins Hollywood ‘wunderkind’ Shia Lebouf and ‘golden oldie’ Michael Douglas, who will reprise his role as the infamous Gordon Gekko, on the cast list.
This is fantastic news. Like everyone else I really enjoyed Bardem in No Country For Old Men, but after I saw him in Vicky Christina Barcelona I was completely sold on him. He has great diversity. He can do comedy. He can do stone cold killer. Now I think he’ll be a great advisary for Gekko. Fantastic news!
