A Monster Hunter movie adaptation has been in the works for a while now, and the picture has moved to bring in a couple of big-name additions.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, Ron Perlman and T.I. Harris will join Milla Jovovich in the film. Musician-turned-actor Harris has impressed many in Ant-Man and its sequel, while Perlman is a huge genre favourite thanks to turns in the likes of Alien: Resurrection, Sons of Anarchy, Beauty and the Beast, Batman: The Animated Series, and, of course, as the title character in Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy movies. In Monster Hunter, Perlman has been cast as a character simply known as Admiral, while Harris will be playing a sniper named Link.

While plot specifics are being keep hush-hush for now, Monster Hunter will focus on Jovovich’s Artemis. The video game series itself centres on hunting down various monsters, increasing your weaponry and technology in doing so.

Jovovich’s husband Paul W.S. Anderson is on writing and directing duties here, continuing their working relationship from the Resident Evil franchise.
