I don't know about you but I can't see Jessica Biel as a particularly threatening presence.


“Jessie, she's a captain with DCIS, which is the Defense Criminal Investigative Service,” director Joe Carnahan explained of the new character, who shares an uncomfortable dating history with Bradley Cooper’s Face. “They’re basically the department of the defense, and she supersedes [military officials] - if she goes on a base, it doesn't matter if you’re a general, she can supplant you.”
Although technically not a bad guy, in the June 11th flick she’ll run neck-and-neck alongside Patrick Wilson’s Lynch as the main threat to the A-Team’s underground existence. “She's kind of the chief nemesis, because of her relationship with Bradley's character,” Carnahan explained. “[The A-Team] are invariably always up to no good; they’re renegades, and she believes people like this need to be policed and shut down.”
Don’t think Biel’s only job in the movie will be to show up and look hot. “She's not wallpaper. In the same way as Bradley, Jessie got really good with the weapon training,” the “Smokin’ Aces” filmmaker insisted. “She and I had conversation after conversation: 'You can't just be this female testosterone component.'”
“She retained every bit of her femininity, without resorting to just looking tough,” Carnahan explained, making the character sound a bit like Jennifer Lopez’s “Out of Sight” badass Karen Sisco, and Face sounding a bit like George Clooney’s bank-robbing rogue Jack Foley. “She and Bradley had such fantastic chemistry. There's a lot of ad-libbing between them that is just great; it sounds like people who used to date. [They bicker about] where it went sour, for all of these small stupid reasons.”
As for whether Sosa is an ally or an enemy to the A-Team, Carnahan said it’s a bit of both. “She’s not really [on their side]; she's kind of their chief pursuer,” he reasoned. “And some things happen, and then some plot twists and character revelations, and things go a different way. But, she is their nemesis.”
