Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper star in an action-packed movie that is a remake of a classic 1980s action series, and the gritty release has set a new streaming release date, which is closing in fast. Neeson's long career has seen the actor traverse many different genres, but there is no denying that Neeson cemented himself as one of the world's biggest action movie stars. Neeson led the iconic Taken trilogy, as well as appeared in action movies like Batman Begins, Cold Pursuit, Memory, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, and more. Cooper's list of movies also features some action releases.

While not to the same extent as Neeson, Cooper has appeared in action-packed films like Hit and Run, Limitless, and more. The intense biopic American Sniper, for which Cooper was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, also connects to the genre in a way. Additionally, Cooper voices Rocket Raccoon in Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and other movies in the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe, a character who is all about building the biggest guns he can imagine. Now, Neeson and Cooper's The A-Team, an explosive remake of the 1980s action series of the same name, is coming to streaming.

Neeson & Cooper's The A-Team Has A Plan For Paramount+

The A-Team will premiere on Paramount+ on November 1. The movie was originally released in theaters on June 11, 2010, hailing from director Joe Carnahan, who would come to team up with Neeson again for the 2011 survival thriller The Grey. Carnahan recently served as both writer and director on one of Netflix's biggest movies of 2016, the R-rated The Rip, which stars Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and several other high-profile actors, such as HBO Lanterns' Hal Jordan star Kyle Chandler. Based on that, Paramount+ subscribers know what to expect from The A-Team in terms of the movie's action sequences.

The A-Team movie is a remake of the TV show of the same name, which debuted on NBC on January 23, 1983. The original The A-Team series would run for five seasons, with the action series' finale airing on March 8, 1987. The movie focuses on a Special Forces team who escapes from prison, where they had been sent to after being framed for a crime they were not guilty of, and fight to clear their names and find the true criminals. The A-Team also stars Jessica Biel, Patrick Wilson, Rampage Jackson, Henry Czerny, and more. Jon Hamm has a cameo role.

The Action Film Was Meant To Kick Off A New Franchise

Much like how the 1980s action series ran for five seasons, the 2010 movie version of The A-Team was meant to serve as the first chapter of a new saga for the franchise. However, it all burned down when the movie became a box office bomb. Based on a reported budget of $110 million, The A-Team needed to finish its theatrical run between $220 million and $275 million to break even. Given how the action movie ended up with only $177.2 million, that was not enough to warrant a sequel. 16 years later, The A-Team gets a chance to shine again on Paramount+.
