True Blood and Magic Mike star Joe Manganiello is one of three new cast members announced for Sony Pictures Animation sequel Smurfs: The Lost Village.
Manganiello will voice the strong and super-positive Hefty, a loyal dynamo struggling with his hero complex. He is joined by 30 Rock’s Jack McBrayer as the sweet, awkward and honest-to-a-fault Clumsy, whoās forever trying his best and missing the mark and Danny Pudi (Community) as book smart and geek proud Brainy, whoās long on knowledge, but short on inter-Smurf-onal skills.
The three actors join the already star-studded line-up that includes Demi Lovato as Smurfette, Rainn Wilson as Gargamel and Mandy Patinkin as Papa Smurf.
It seems to Smurfette that everyone else in the Village has a purpose ā Papa Smurf (leading), Baker Smurf (baking), even Grouchy Smurf (grouching) ā except for her. So whatās the only girl in the village to do? Go in search of hers, of course! When she accidentally crosses paths with a mysterious creature that takes off into the Enchanted Forest, she follows, and sets off into the uncharted and strictly forbidden woods. Joined by her brothers Brainy, Hefty and Clumsy ā and with the evil wizard Gargamel shadowing their every step ā Team Smurf undertakes a wild journey full of action, danger and discovery, setting them on a course that leads to the biggest mystery in Smurf history!
Smurfs: The Lost Village will be released worldwide on 31st March 2017.
