Martin Freeman, the star of The Hobbit and Sherlock has joined Captain America: Civil War in an unknown role, according to a statement from Marvel.

"From his roles as Bilbo Baggins and Doctor Watson to Tim in The Office, Martin’s range from the dramatic to the comedic has consistently impressed us,” said Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. “We couldn’t be more honored or excited to have such a talented actor join the Marvel Cinematic Universe."

In addition to Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. as clashing Avengers, the film will also star Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Frank Grillo, Daniel Bruhl, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, and Chadwick Boseman, making his first appearance as Black Panther.
