Looks like "A-Team" director John Singleton may have a decision to make: Is B.A going to be the oft-rumoured Tyrese Gibson or his old pal Ice Cube?

Cube tells The Los Angeles Times that he's very keen on wearing the Mohawk.

"Man, I am so ready to play ‘B.A.' Baracus. I was a big, big Mr. T fan. I mean, c'mon, Clubber Lang [in "Rocky III") was amazing. I even watched his Saturday morning show, but that was cheesy. I was like everybody else, I watched it for about six weeks and said, ‘Man this isn't any good.' But the 'A-Team,' I would love for this to happen."

Cube hinted that he's already been talking to Singleton - whom he worked with, all those years ago, on "Boyz N' The Hood" - about the part.

"It's the thing we've been talking about lately, the thing on the other side of the strike or no-strike. I think it could be great. I always look at how they did ‘Mission: Impossible' and even how they upgraded Batman from what it was not that long ago. The key is the story and the director."
