Zhang Yimou’s ancient-China action-flick “Great Wall” has added Willem Dafoe to its cast, which includes Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
Chinese director Zhang is set to make his English-language debut with the film, which follows an elite force making a last stand for humanity on the world’s most iconic structure.
The film is expected to be the largest production ever shot entirely in China.
Production is set to begin in the spring 2015, as Universal Pictures will release the film in 3D in the U.S. on Nov. 23, 2016.
