According to Variety, David Strathairn (Lincoln, The Bourne Legacy) is in talks to join the cast of Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures' anticipated Godzilla 3D reboot, which begins production soon. Character and plot details are currently under wraps, but sources say that the actor will be playing a military figure. Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass), Elizabeth Olsen (Oldboy), Bryan Cranston (Argo) and Juliette Binoche (Cosmopolis) make up the movie's rather impressive cast so far, with Gareth Edwards (Monsters) in the director's chair. Godzilla is set to hit theaters May 16th, 2014.

Hell yea, he was good in Good Night and Good Luck too.

Might be too much to cram in a monster for Godzilla to fight, but I hope he does

Haven't seen any movies that this guy has starred in, but as long as it's a solid cast, i'm all for it. Still can't believe we're getting big G back onscreen.

I like how they're doing their damnedest to avoid having Japanese actors, again.

all I want to see is godzilla wrecking shit up, fighting other monsters, not the boring military for the whole movie and using his atomic breath

It has to be better than that horrible 90s one.

Can't wait for the Comic-Con panel.

This is almost like being a kid in the late 70's,early 80's again.

Star Trek,Superman,Star Wars,Alien franchise and now Godzilla movies coming out.

What more can I ask for?An Indiana Jones film with very little Lucas input to wipe away Crystal Skull.A new Mad Max,Conan,Terminator. It's one big circle.I could almost call it a life.
