Charlie "Wild Thing" Sheen to Return in New Major League Movie

Writer/director David Ward says that the script to a new Major League movie is complete, and will see Charlie Sheen reprise his role as Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In the new movie, Sheen will play a mentor role to a hotheaded young pitcher. “It’s 20 years later and Charlie’s character has been out of baseball since he gave up the walk-off homerun in the seventh game of the World Series,” Ward told THR. “But the team wants him back to mentor this young fireballing relief pitcher.”

In addition, original cast members Wesley Snipes, Dennis Haysbert, and Corbin Bernsen are set to appear in the movie. Snipes and Haysbert, Willie Hayes and Pedro Cerrano in the original, are the new team’s coaches.
