Bradley Whitford will witness the awe-inspiring force of nature...Godzilla!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 57-year-old actor best known for his roles in Billy Madison, The West Wing, and, more recently, in Get Out has landed a role in Legendary and Warner Bros.' Godzilla: King of the Monsters -- the sequel to Gareth Edwards's 2014 monster flick.

Since much of the sequel's plot and characters are being kept under wraps, at this moment THR didn't provide any details as to who Whitford will be playing in it.

Whitford joins a cast that already includes Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine) returning as Project Monarch scientist Dr. Vivienne Graham, Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring), Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things), Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Straight Outta Compton), Ken Watanabe (Batman Begins), and Aisha Hinds (Under the Dome).
