Fresh from narrowly escaping Alexandria in one piece on this past Sunday's season finale of The Walking Dead, Jeffrey Dean Morgan will be swapping the barbed-wire baseball bat for a suit, as Deadline reports that the actor has signed on to play a government agent named Russel in San Andreas director Bran Peyton's adaptation of the Midway arcade game, Rampage.
Morgan will join an already very impressive cast which includes Dwayne Johnson, Naomie Harris, Joe Manganiello, Jake Lacy, Marley Shelton, and fellow Watchmen alum Malin Akerman as the antagonist.
Specific plot details are under wraps, but we do know the movie will feature the giant gorilla, wolf and crocodile from the popular game, with Johnson's "animal-loving" character attempting to halt their path of destruction.
Rampage is set to smash into theaters on April 20 of next year.
