"Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" actor Richard E Grant has been tapped to feature in Disney Plus upcoming series, "Loki".
Marvel Cinematic Universe fans will see Tom Hiddleston reprise his role as the titular Avengers anti-hero in the stand-alone series.
According to Variety, the exact details of Grant's role are being kept under wraps. But a source close to the production said the veteran actor will only appear in a single episode of the series.
The six-episode show is set after the events of "Avengers: Endgame" and will explore a different version of the story, with the God of Mischief at its centre.
This is Grant's second role in the MCU, after playing Dr Zander Rice in James Mangold-directed "Logan".
Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Sophia Di Martino are also part of the cast.
