Arnold Schwarzenegger to play an angel in Black Sunday
The action veteran is still lining up movie roles
  
 Arnold Schwarzenegger is taking his movie comeback seriously.  
 As well as  The Expendables 2  , Arnie is also filming  Last Stand  , and he's currently prepping a role in  Black Sunday  (formerly announced as  Black Sands  ). 
 While the film had previously been described as a western of sorts, with comparisons to  Man On Fire  and  High Plains Drifter  mentioned, Arnie has thrown a curveball by telling website  TheArnoldFans  (via   The Playlist   ) that he's playing an angel in the movie. 
 "I'm a kind of angel," he said, adding, "I can not currently say more about this film." 
 His comments have been taken literally rather than figuratively, with his avenging angel believed to be some sort of holy creature. 
 This brings back rather iffy memories of  End Of Days  , though if this gives Arnie the opportunity to spout more golden lines like "Between your faith and my Glock nine millimeter, I'll take the Glock" and "You're a fucking choir boy compared to me!" then this could be something of a guilty-pleasure watch. 
 The Expendables 2  opens on 17 August 2012, with  Last Stand  following on 18 January 2013.
