Bradley Cooper Set to Star in 'U.N.C.L.E.'?

Bradley Cooper takes a lunch break on the set of The Silver Linings Playbook on Thursday (October 20) in Upper Darby, Pa.

The 36-year-old actor is reportedly the front runner to play the lead in Steven Soderbergh‘s U.N.C.L.E.

Bradley “currently has an offer to play Napoleon Solo, and the opportunity to work with Soderbergh is one that Cooper is likely to accept,” Variety reports.

The trade adds that Bradley would start work on U.N.C.L.E. after he wraps up production on Paradise Lost, which he’s filming after The Silver Linings Playbook.
