The article hinted that he might act on the actual show..

I assume 50 wants to be like LL and Ice T in the acting game at some point

while the article did suggest that the main character would be a good fit for 50 it also specified who the showrunner would be.

Leading into the new drama, Spartacus: War of the Damned closed the swords-and-sandals saga with a total audience of 1.43 million, up 53 percent over the final season’s premiere. Across multiple airings, Spartacus‘ swan song amassed 2.7 million viewers, up 5 percent versus its season opener and improving 11 percent on its season average.

Still, the producers chose to build toward the ultimate slave revolt, and Starz — realizing that would be hard to drag out — no doubt grudgingly decided to end the series. Although that’s a perfectly logical move from a creative standpoint, it’s also a bold one given TV’s reluctance to discard anything that appears to be working, much less something that’s out-rating almost everything else on the network.

Showrunner Steven S. DeKnight tells THR that the decision to conclude the drama, which helped put the premium cable network on the map, was "one of the factors in the wholesale slaughter at the end of last season."

Spartacus stands as the first original scripted drama the network developed in-house and has proved to be a valuable property for Starz, with its most recent season -- Spartacus Vengeance -- averaging more than 6 million viewers each week. In addition, the period drama that featured the shocking deaths of six major characters including Lucy Lawless' Lucretia in its Season 2 finale airs in more than 150 countries worldwide.
