Increasingly busy character actor Ray Winstone has joined the cast of the fourth "Indiana Jones" installment, due in theaters May 2008.
Most recently seen as Jack Nicholson‘s right-hand man in "The Departed," and in Anthony Minghella‘s "Breaking and Entering," Winstone will play Harrison Ford‘s sidekick in the Steven Spielberg-directed adventure, scheduled to begin filming this June in Los Angeles and in other undisclosed locations around the world.

With many previous "Indiana Jones" characters rumored to be returning, we wonder how Indy’s new best bud and his old one (John Rhys-Davies‘ Sallah) will get on together. Other familar faces speculated to pop up include Sean Connery as Indy’s dad and Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood. Most recently it was announced that Cate Blanchett was also joining the cast.
Winstone will next appear as the title character in Robert Zemeckis‘ "Beowulf" this November. "Indiana Jones 4" is scheduled for release in May, 2008.
