"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" actor Rafe Spall has joined the cast of "Men in Black" spin-off.

The film, to be directed by F Gary Gray, will feature Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson in the lead.

Spall, 35, is joining the cast along with street dancing duo Les Twins, Laurent Nicolas Bourgeois and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois.

Other cast members include Hemsworth's older brother Liam, who recently featured in "Westworld", and "The Big Sick" star Kumail Nanjiani.

Hemsworth and Thompson, who reunite after starring in "Thor: Ragnarok", are not playing the alien-fighting and world-saving characters portrayed by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in the initial film trilogy.

Earlier, veteran actor Liam Neeson also joined the project and will be playing the head of the Men in Black organisation in London, where the story begins.

Walter F Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, who produced the original movies, return as producers, while Steven Spielberg is coming back to executive produce.

The Sony studio film is slated to release on June 14 next year.
