Benjamin Walker is in talks to star in Legendary Pictures' Paradise Lost, Deadline reports. He would play the Archangel Michael.
The film, to be directed by Alex Proyas, is an adaptation of John Milton's 17th-century English poem about the epic war in heaven between Archangels Michael and Lucifer. The role of Lucifer is set to be played by Bradley Cooper.
Walker, who previously appeared in Kinsey and Flags of Our Fathers, will soon play the lead role in Timur Bekmambetov's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, hitting theaters June 22, 2012.

This may be my Sunday School upbringing talking, but I always imagined angels to be both very handsome and very terrifying looking. He's um... not. Whoever he is.
No match for a Bradley Cooper Lucifer, that's for sure.

LOL Whatevs, it's a shitty movie but Nic Cage has fabulous crazy expressions.
Does Archangel Michael cut himself like an emo kid while singing? Because he's good and playing that...
