I find it pretty hilarious that they make absolutely no mention of who GSP is other than referencing Death Warrior.
While it's cool that GSP is going to be in a potential blockbuster, he's probably miscast. He's obviously acrobatic for an MMA fighter (and especially for his size), but I have to imagine there are better choices both from an acrobatic sense and certainly an acting sense.

Yeah, but that's why it's funny the article makes no mention of who he is. I mean he didn't make his name from the stunning performance in Death Warrior.

He will play "Batroc the Leaper".

Actually the character is a french kickboxing specialist which is perfect for him and will only be used as a henchman for a bigger villian (Whether its The Winter Soldier or not Idk, they have a lot of characters planned for the sequel). So if he does have any lines they will be minimal and he will mostly be doing fight scenes

Well I'd love to be wrong, I thought by "leaper" he would be parkour/acrobat based. I just hope he tells Captain America that he's not impressed by his performance.

Lets hope GSP is a better actor than Randy.

Damn, I bet even his fight scene in the movie will be boring.
Lol jk
In all seriousness, good for him. I just hope it doesn't negatively affect his fighting career.

The less lines he has the better.
