Gary Oldman returns to Call of Duty

Will reprise his role as Viktor Reznov from Call of Duty: World at War.

Activision and Treyarch have announced that award-winning actors Gary Oldman and Ed Harris have joined the cast of Call of Duty: Black Ops, with David S. Goyer having come on board to provide script consultation and story development support.

Oldman, known for his work in Leon, Dracula and Batman: The Dark Knight, will reprise his role as Viktor Reznov from Call of Duty: World at War.

Harris, who's had leading roles in The Abyss, A History of Violence and Apollo 13, will play one of the game's main characters, CIA operative Jason Hudson.

"Oldman, Harris and Goyer are considered some of Hollywood's finest talents and they perfectly complement Call of Duty: Black Ops' ambitious and immersive single player experience," said Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch. "Their contributions have helped us to push the boundaries of our story telling and character development far beyond anything we have ever attempted before in the franchise."

Call of Duty: Black Ops will be released worldwide on November 9.
