Joel Edgerton Might Be 'The Guy From U.N.C.L.E.' or even the New Gerard Butler

Poor Joel Edgerton did not cash luck together with his fall twosome of 'Warrior' (regrettably not seen!) and 'The Thing' (fortunately not seen!), therefore it would go to reason why he may wish to up his profile with a few sure things soon. And thus here i am! Not just is Edgerton co-starring in 'The Great Gatsby,' but she has his pick of two high-profile approaching projects, based on Vulture: Steven Soderbergh's 'The Guy From U.N.C.L.E.' and also the '300' prequel. Vulture reviews that Warner Bros. offered Edgerton charge role in 'U.N.C.L.E.' even though Bradley Cooper was apparently the very best choice a couple of days ago. This comes hrs after Vulture also reported that Edgerton was the studio's pick to guide '300: Fight of Artemisia.' (Appears like Edgerton has some large fans around the Warner's lot.) Edgerton has not recognized either role, but forthcoming nexus s he will grab one. After missing out on charge in 'The Bourne Legacy' to Jeremy Renner, dude warrants a rest.
