Yes, he plays the role of Theron (Mandrake's father). It is unknown what route they will take with the character. They could go the route of the comics and make him Mandrake's teacher or they could go an entirely different route with him.
Mandrake the Magician is a U.S. comic strip created in 1934 by Lee Falk (also creator of The Phantom) and mainly appearing in syndication in newspapers. Falk soon gave the job of drawing the comic strip to artist Phil Davis, while continuing to write the storylines. Davis worked on the strip until his death in 1964; Falk then recruited current artist Fred Fredericks. On Falk's death in 1999, Fredericks took over writing the strip as well. Mandrake is widely believed to have been the first bona fide superhero.
Mandrake was an illusionist whose work was based on an impossibly fast hypnotic technique. As the narrator informed us: "Mandrake gestured hypnotically" and the subject or subjects of this hypnosis would suddenly see a cane transformed in a bouquet of flowers or a cat into a tiger. Mandrake also worked against crooks and other bad guys in his spare time. This would include common gangsters, mad scientists and aliens from space. In their case, he would gesture hypnotically and they would see their guns change into snakes or red hot irons.

The most likely choice is The Cobra, seeing as he is one of Mandrake's greatest foes. But other choices could be:
The League of 8, Saki The Clay Camel, or even a whole new character made for the movie
But we will not know until more info (or a trailer) is released.
