Ethan Hawke and John Goodman have been added to the cast of Luc Besson's VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS, joining Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen and Rihanna.

VALERIAN will follow a spatio-temporal agent (DeHaan) and his companion (Delevingne) as they travel the universe through space and time, and is based on the long-running French comic book series from Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mezieres. Besson will direct from his own script when production kicks off next month, and he'll be working with a reported budget of $180 million. What are your thoughts on the latest cast additions to Besson's new movie?

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS will arrive in theaters on July 21, 2017.
