We've got some official news on the casting of Jesse Custer for AMC's adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's cult comic series, Preacher. Rumored for a while, it's now been confirmed by executive producer Seth Rogen, via Twitter, that Howard Stark himself -- actor Dominic Cooper -- will play Jesse.

Cooper joins the already cast Ruth Negga (as Tulip), Joseph Gilgun (as Cassidy), Ian Colletti (as Arseface), and Lucy Griffiths (as Jesse's loyal right-hand, Emily).



Dominic Cooper, Jesse Custer.

Preacher revolves around Jesse Custer (Cooper), a small town preacher with special powers who teams with his ex (Negga) and an Irish vampire (Gilgun) on a journey to literally find God.
