“When I heard they were going to revive the franchise, I knew I wanted to be a part of it,” Zeta-Jones said at D23. “I am a bit of treasure hunter myself. I couldn’t wait to dive into the action and mystery with this new fresh take.”

And how about this for a tease: Zeta-Jones said that while “we may be a brand new cast, you will see some familiar faces.” Justin Bartha, please!
