Michael Sheen, who delivered an excellent performance as Tony Blair in Stephen Frears’ “The Queen,” has been cast in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” and Gregor Jordan’s “Unthinkable,” according to Variety.

In “Unthinkable,” Samuel L. Jackson stars a black-ops interrogator (Jackson) who teams up with an FBI agent (Carrie-Ann Moss) to press a suspect into revealing the locations of three nuclear weapons. What part Sheen will play is unknown at this stage.

The actor will also be seen in Burton’s new take on “Alice in Wonderland,” which stars Mia Wasikowska in the titular role. Also starring is Johnny Depp, who portrays the Mad Hatter.

Sheen most recently starred in “Blood Diamond.” He will next be seen in Ron Howard’s drama “Frost/Nixon,” in which he plays British television presenter David Frost.
