The upcoming movie adaptation of the classic Rampage game has brought in its first new addition to join star Dwayne Johnson.

The Hollywood Reporter has word that James Bond and Pirates of the Caribbean actress Naomie Harris will co-star alongside Johnson. This comes in the aftermath of Harris having earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her performance in Moonlight. The outlet reports that her role in Rampage will be that of a moralistic geneticist next to Johnson’s animal-loving hero.

For those not familiar with Rampage, the original arcade game was released in 1986 and allowed players to control one of three monsters. These was a giant ape named George, a giant lizard named Lizzy, and a giant werewolf named Ralph. Players would get to battle across the United States as they fought the military. That game would be followed by several sequels, which in turn brought more new characters and monsters into the fold as the action moved to the rest of the globe and even up to the stars.

To be directed by San Andreas’ Brad Peyton, the current plan is for Rampage to be released on April 20th, 2018.
