Ocean's Eight, the all-female Ocean's Eleven spinoff, has reportedly found its main villain.

According to Variety, Homeland star Damian Lewis, who played Nicholas Brody on the show, is close to finalizing a deal to join the cast of Ocean's Eight, and will play the main baddie in the film. Lewis had been spotted on set recently, and it now seems his role in the movie is indeed much more than just a small cameo, Variety reports.

Ocean's Eight was first announced last year, and has Sandra Bullock starring as the film's main character, the leader of of a group of thieves planning to pull off a major heist. Lewis will play Bullock's ex-lover, and the man the thieves are planning to rob.

The rest of the movie's star-studded cast includes Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, Anne Hathaway, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, and Awkwafina. Gary Ross, director of The Hunger Games, will helm the spinoff.

Ocean's Eight will hit theaters June 8, 2018.
