The cast for director Brett Ratner‘s next movie, Hercules, has added a handful of new actors to join Dwayne Johnson, who’s starring in the lead role.

New additions to the cast include Ian McShane (Deadwood, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love, Enemy at the Gates), John Hurt (Alien, Hellboy), Rufus Sewell (Dark City, A Knight’s Tale), Rebecca Ferguson (The White Queen), and Askel Hennie (Headhunters).

As the star of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson continues to grow, he keeps adding new projects to his schedule.

It’s being reported that Johnson is now in negotiations to play none other than Hercules in an adaptation of the Steve Moore Radical Publishing graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian War.
