The cast of Ant-Man 3 is getting bigger. Lovecraft Country star Jonathan Majors is joining the next installment of the Marvel Studios franchise, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Majors, who plays Atticus "Tic" Freeman in HBO's Lovecraft Country and was onscreen in Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods earlier this year, joins leading man Paul Rudd in the film. Peyton Reed is back in the director's chair after helming the previous two installments — 2015's Ant-Man and 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp. Rick & Morty writer Jeff Loveness is penning the script.

Marvel, which declined to comment, has not yet set a release date for Ant-Man 3.

"The third Ant-Man movie is going to be a much bigger, more sprawling movie than the first two," Reed said earlier this month of the film. "It's going to have a very different visual template."

Majors is repped by CAA.
