I am – Hercules!!

The Hollywood Reporter says Nicolas Cage has decided not to take the villain role opposite Seth Rogen in “The Green Hornet.”

The Michel Gondry-helmed adventure, which began shooting last week, is now on the lookout for a new actor Rogen can beat on.

Knowing nothing of the Hornet’s nemesis, have we any clue who would make a worthwhile substitute? Christoph Waltz? Jonah Hill? What’s Terrence Stamp doing at the moment?

Maybe Rogen will rope in one of the “Freaks and Geeks” co-stars he hasn’t yet worked with on the big screen, like “Inglourious Basterds” vet Samm Levine or “Bones” player John Francis Daley. Maybe not!
