Mark Strong looks set to star in Grimsby alongside Sacha Baron Cohen.

Strong is currently in talks to star in the new comedy as a Black-op spy who is forced to go on the run with his long-lost brother, an English football hooligan.

The movie will mark the return of Louis Leterrier to the director's chair, while Cohen, Phil Johnston and Peter Baynham have all had a hand in penning the screenplay.

According to Variety, the film is scheduled begin shooting this summer with a US release scheduled for July 31, 2015.

We are going to be seeing plenty of Strong on the big screen this year, as he has already completed work on Before I Go To Sleep, The Secret Service and The Imitation Game.

The Secret Service will see him reunite with director Matthew Vaughn, for an adaptation of the Mark Millar comic.

Strong will also team up with Benedict Cumberbatch for The Imitation Game: which will be a biopic Alan Turing.
