Plot details are being kept inside the chest (get it?), but sources say the story once again sees a space crew facing the deadly acid- and blood-spewing creatures.
McBride might be playing one of two techie roles that have a comedic bent to them, but that could not be confirmed.
A shoot in Australia is being prepped.
McBride, repped by CAA and Hansen Jacobson, was last seen in Bill Murray’s Rock the Kasbah and is one of the voice stars of The Angry Birds Movie.
