South Korean actor Lee Byung-hun will star in the upcoming Hollywood film “Beyond Deceit” alongside Al Pacino, Anthony Hopkins and Josh Duhamel, Yonhap reported.

Directed by Shintaro Shimosawa, the thriller will follow a young lawyer who becomes embroiled in a murder case.

BH Entertainment, Lee’s agency, said they cannot reveal yet his role or details of his filming schedule.

Lee has taken on a handful of Hollywood projects in recent years, including the role of T-1000 in “Terminator Genisys,” to be released in July.

In his home country, two films led by Lee — “The Insiders” and “Swords Women” — have been pushed back for release following a blackmail scandal that has put him in the center of public scrutiny.
