French actress Eva Green and Americans Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen) and Michael Raymond-James (Jack Reacher) have joined the cast of The Salvation, a Nordic saga-inspired Western from Danish director Kristian Levring (The King is Alive) currently shooting in South Africa, The Hollywood Reporter said.

The English-language drama stars Mads Mikkelsen, currently appearing as infamous psychologist/cannibal Hannibal Lecter in NBC's critically-acclaimed crime drama Hannibal, as a peaceful settler in 1870s America forced to carry out violent revenge.

Green, who headlined Starz fantasy miniseries Camelot and appeared in Tim Burton's Dark Shadows, has a full dance card at the moment, with roles in two highly anticipated sequels: Sin City 2 and 300: Rise of an Empire. Salvation reunites her with Danish star Mads Mikkelsen following their work together on the James Bond feature Casino Royale (2006).

Other big names added to the cast include acclaimed British actor Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean); Sweden's Mikael Persbrandt, the star of Sussane Bier's Oscar-winning In A Better World and a supporting role in the final two entries in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy; Scottish actor Douglas Henshall (The Eagle) and French soccer star-turned-actor Eric Cantona (Looking for Eric).
