Actor David Tennant has joined the cast of "Mary, Queen of Scots" alongside Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan.

The former "Doctor Who" actor's role is yet to be revealed.

The forthcoming drama also stars Jack Lowden, Guy Pearce, Martin Compston, Joe Alwyn and "Downton Abbey" actor Brendan Coyle, reported Variety.

Robbie is set to portray Queen Elizabeth I, who died in 1603, opposite Ronan as the titular character.

The big screen project is being directed by Josie Rourke and is expected to go into production this year.

It is based on the true story of Mary Stuart's attempt to overthrow her cousin Elizabeth's seat on the English throne, which, ultimately, led to her being condemned to years in prison before facing execution.
 

Filming has begun in England and Scotland.
