David Tennant has joined the cast of the animated film Chew, which is based on the comic book of the same name.
The former Doctor Who star will take over the role originally held by the late Robin Williams.
The animated feature also stars Felicia Day (The Guild) and The Walking Dead's Steven Yeun.
Jeff Krelitz, whose previous credits include Torchwood: Web of Lies and Peter Panzerfaust, will direct the film, while the script has been penned by Chew co-creator John Layman.
The series centres around Tony Chu (Yeun), a detective with the unique ability to see the history of anything he eats. Chu lives in a near future where poultry is illegal following a devastating bird flu epidemic.
Tennant will voice Mason Savoy, the detective's mentor-turned-villain, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The rest of the cast recorded their parts last year, but production was halted after the death of Robin Williams last August.

David Tennant – who recently joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Zebediah “Purple Man” Killgrave in Jessica Jones – has just jumped aboard another comic book adaptation. According to THR, the former Doctor Who star will lend his voice to the upcoming animated adaptation of Image Comics’ Chew.
Tennant’s role – of mentor-turned-villain Mason Savoy – was originally going to be filled by Robin Williams, who tragically committed suicide last summer. His death caused a stall in production, but now things are moving forward once more. The Walking Dead‘s Steven Yeun and The Guild actress/creator Felicia Day are already signed on for the film and recorded their parts last year.
Chew, created by John Layman (who penned the screenplay for the adaptation) and artist Rob Guillory, centers on an agent in the Food and Drug Administration named Tony Chu (Yeun), who solves crimes by receiving psychic impressions from whatever he eats.

Eliza Dushku is making the leap from slayer to slayer-hunter.

Agent Dawson will reportedly team up with Lucas Hood (Antony Starr) to catch a serial killer. Of course, there’s a good chance her “personal demons” will make that task easier said than done.
In addition to Buffy, Dushku’s small-screen credits include roles on Torchwood: Web of Lies, Dollhouse and Tru Calling.
