When it comes to Transformers 2, Brit happens.

Hot on the heels of news that Rainn Wilson will be joining the cast of the robot-happy sequel comes word that action-friendly British thesp Matthew Marsden has also come aboard.

According to MTV News, Marsden, who previously starred in Rambo and Resident Evil: Extinction, will play the role of Graham, a member of the British Special Forces.

While a plot for the Michael Bay flick is being kept under tight wraps—aside from Megan Fox's promise at the MTV Movie Awards over the weekend that it will be "f---ing bad ass"—Marsden's character will reportedly join forces with the military men played in the original film by Josh Duhamel and Tyrese for a more global battle.

Shooting began on Monday.
