After being picked up to play an Egyptian pharaoh in Night at the Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian, Hank Azaria has not only discovered who else will be getting (back) in front of the camera, but doesn't mind talking about it.
Hank Azaria for Night at the Museum 2 and Year One
MTV Movies Blog has caught up with Hank Azaria to discuss his involvement in the Night at the Museum sequel and learned that, besides most the original cast, we can also expect to see the very-adorable Amy Adams on display.
I am playing a fictional Egyptian pharaoh that comes to life,” Azaria revealed to MTV News. “I’m the villain in the movie and have all sorts of nasty plans for modern society and poor Ben Stiller gets caught in the middle of it.”
As for the rest of the cast, Azaria says that recent addition Amy Adams will in fact be playing Amelia Earhart and that many of the original cast are set to return. “Owen [Wilson] is coming back and so is Steve Coogan and Ricky Gervais. And there’s other fun folks too who haven’t officially signed on yet playing historical figures,” he teased.
