Ewan McGregor has been cast as villain in ‘Jane Got A Gun’

Jane Got A Gun is going to have to be something special if it hopes to match the level of excitement that production has offered us so far. The film, which stars Natalie Portman, has just announced the fourth actor cast as the villain, and that man is Ewan McGregor.

McGregor replaces Bradley Cooper who had to leave the film after his busy schedule became disrupted by the attacks at the Boston Marathon. Cooper replaced Jude Law after Law left the film due to the sudden exit of original director Lynne Ramsay, and Law had replaced Joel Edgerton who took on the lead role after Michael Fassbender left the film. It’s confusing, but is also keeping a lot of interest in the film.

The film will see Natalie Portman turn to an ex-lover (Edgerton) for protection after her husband returns home riddled with bullets. Gavin O’Connor is directing, and if he pulls this off he’ll certainly be seen as a miracle worker. McGregor is a fine choice for the role of the villain chasing down Portman’s husband, and it will be nice to see a mini Star Wars reunion.
