Cohen, 42, is apparently on the verge of signing with Disney to take on a lead role in the film, said to be the main villain, which will be based upon and titled 'Through the Looking Glass', reported Variety.
Should Cohen be given the role of the White King, he will join up with returnees Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska, who will be reprising their roles as The Mad Hatter and Alice, respectively.
This is the latest in a long-line of upcoming projects Cohen has under his belt, a great deal of which he is developing himself. The 'Borat' actor is currently working with director Louis Leterrier on a film called 'Grimsby', which will begin shooting in summer this year.
