"Michael is the final addition to the amazing cast we
have assembled for this film, and it is so great to have the last puzzle piece
in place. ... It is thrilling that everything has come together to bring this
innovative new vision of RoboCop to life. We’ve got a great script, a great
cast, some killer ED-209s, and I can’t wait to get Alex Murphy back on the
streets."
Prior to this reveal, it was rumored that Clive Owen might
be up for the role.
The former Batman joins the already star-studded cast, which
includes Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish and leading man Joel
Kinnaman. Production on Robocop will begin in the next few weeks for an August
9, 2013, release
