Sacha Baron Cohen's wife Isla Fisher is the latest star to join the cast of upcoming comedy film Grimsby. Entertainment website The Wrap revealed Fisher will play a "key supporting role, possibly as a femme fatale or other comedy vixen." The role will see her reunited with director Louis Leterrier having previously worked together on box office smash Now You See Me. Bridesmaids actress Rebel Wilson has also been confirmed for the film which is set for release in July 2015. An array of talent including Ian McShane, David Harewood, Annabelle Wallis, Johnny Vegas and Oscar-nominated Gabourey Sidibe has already been lined up for the action comedy. It will see Mark Strong star as a spy forced to team up with his football hooligan brother, played by Baron Cohen, after going on the run. As reported, Baron Cohen was spotted attending Grimsby Town's game with Cambridge at Blundell Park last season, and was seen wearing a Mariners shirt. Shooting recently begun though location details have yet to be announced. However, it is thought part of the film could be shot in the local area. Reports suggest Baron Cohen has been filming scenes at Southend United's ground Roots Hall, as well as Wembley Stadium. Along with Baron Cohen, Wreck It-Ralph scribe Phil Johnston and Alan Partridge writer Peter Baynham are also involved. Although Paramount Pictures has helped develop Grimsby, earlier this year it was moved to Sony, who will have the worldwide rights to the movie.
