I've always had a soft spot for Costner after seeing him in The Untouchables and JFK and yes, Waterworld isn't that bad, so its good news to hear this.
Deadline are describing his role as below:
He’s the sadistic trainer of the male fighting slaves who entertain the white patrons of Candyland as well as the female slaves who are forced to be prostitutes. The club and ranch are owned by Calvin Candie (DiCaprio) and Ace Woody is the one who pits the “mandingo” fighters against one another, and has little qualms about mistreating and even killing the slaves who don’t measure up. The roles that DiCaprio and Costner will play are every bit as sadistic as the one that Waltz played in Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds.
I like the idea of Costner bringing some menace to the screen and departing from his more obvious 'good guy' roles. Developing into a very interesting project this Mr Tarantino.
