UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre is joining the cast of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Latino Review has learned. He will play a villain named Batroc the Leaper, who, according to his Wikipedia entry, has no superhuman abilities, but is physically strong and agile.
In the comics, Batroc first crossed paths with Cap during one of his missions to steal an item for a terrorist organization.
St-Pierre recently defended his title against Nick Diaz at UFC 158 on March 16. He'll probably have a fight scene or two in the movie and then return to his primary profession.
Just last Friday, it was revealed that Robert Redford is in talks to play a high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. official, reportedly, named Pierce. Given that Marvel likes to sign actors up for multiple movies, there's a possibility he may show up in Marvel's other superhero movies.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo and is scheduled for release on April 4, 2014.
