"For this film, I wanted Tom Hanks to be surrounded by an international cast of actors whose energy will underscore Robert Langdon's life-or-death peril, the high-stakes action he takes, and the global threat that he's trying to prevent," Ron Howard said, according to the official press release that dropped this week (via Slash Film). "Felicity, Irrfan, Omar, and Sidse have all broken through with recognition here in America as well as their home countries - they are phenomenal talents and we can't wait to get started."

We previously reported on Felicity Jones joining the cast, but this news confirms the reports and adds the two other names. You may remember Khan from his roles in Slumdog Millionaire and Life of Pi, but he'll be portraying Harry Sims, also known as The Provost, in Inferno. Omar Sy starred a Bishop in 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past, while Knudsen is best known for her work on Danish television.

Inferno continues the Harvard symbologist's adventures on screen: when Robert Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia, he teams up with Sienna Brooks, a doctor he hopes will help him recover his memories and prevent a madman from releasing a global plague connected to Dante's "Inferno."
