Godzilla is currently filming in Vancouver, but the cast continues to grow. Last week, it was announced that original Godzilla actor Akira Takarada would have a part in the movie, and we have one more name to add to the list.

Sally Hawkins (pictured below) has joined the movie for a lead role, according to Deadline. The report revealed that she'll be playing a scientist, and also confirmed that Aaron Taylor-Johnson is playing the role of a scientist as well.

As previously reported, Godzilla stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, Richard T. Jones, David Strathairn and Bryan Cranston. Gareth Edwards is directing the film from a screenplay by Max Borenstein, Frank Darabont and Dave Callaham.
