The 48-year-old Harley: Quinn Birds of Prey actor has joined Tilda Swinton and David Bradley in Netflix's stop-motion animated film, which is slated for release in 2021.
The Shape of Water auteur is co-helming the movie with Fantastic Mr Fox animation director Mark Gustafson, with Bradley as the voice Pinocchio's creator, Geppetto.

Zemeckis is currently working on Roald Dahl's The Witches', starring Anne Hathaway, and is slated for release in October.
Hathaway will play the Grand High Witch, a part made famous by fellow Academy Award winner Anjelica Huston in the 1990 motion picture. — BANG
