Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Gemma Arterton (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) have joined the cast of the upcoming prequel to Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman series, The Great Game.

Though no details about their characters have been revealed, they’re joining a cast that also includes Harris Dikinson, Ralph Fiennes, Daniel Bruhl, Charles Dance, Rhys Ifans, and Matthew Goode. Vaughn returns to his role as director, and is co-writing the film with Jane Goldman.
