Dominic Cooper is already part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He played Howard Stark in CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER a role which he reprised on the TV series "Agent Carter." Now he’s playing the lead in AMC’s new series "Preacher," based on the Garth Ennis comic book.
"Preacher" comes to AMC via writer/directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Sam Catlin is their show runner and Cooper plays Jesse, a pastor who’s lost his faith until a force called the Genesis enters his body. Genesis gives Jesse the power to command people with his words, a power which he may need to deal with vampires, assassins and other creatures coming to town. We got to sit in a roundtable with Cooper discussing the new show. Preacher premieres Sunday, May 22 on AMC.
