News: Ewan McGregor in Da Vinci Code Sequel?

After Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer has been cast as the female lead opposite Tom Hanks in Angels and Demons, the sequel to The Da Vinci Code, the word is that Deception star Ewan McGregor may be signing on as a powerful Vatican insider who helps Robert Langdon navigate his entanglement with the Catholic Church and the secretive Illuminati. In other words, the Andie MacDowell role from Hudson Hawk, which I maintain this franchise has lifted from, yet will never be as enjoyable as.
