London, Feb 26 (Inditop.com) Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper has scrapped plans to romance actress Reese Witherspoon on the big screen. He has dropped out of spy comedy “This Means War” to focus on “The Hangover” sequel.

The actor was due to team up with Witherspoon for the new movie, which sees two undercover agents fall in love with the same woman.

But Witherspoon will now be looking for a new leading man after Cooper pulled out of the project citing scheduling conflicts, imdb.com reported.

Cooper will instead spend his time working on a follow-up to his successful Las Vegas comedy “The Hangover”, which is slated to begin filming later this year.
