Guillaume Canet, both director and actor in the title role, Gilles Lellouche (Obélix), Marion Cotillard (Cléopâtre), Vincent Cassel (César)… Half of French cinema is found in the cast of the next Asterix, entitled

Asterix and Obelix : The Middle Empire

… In a perfectly concerted operation, all the actors shared their role on Instagram this Thursday morning.

And, like Pierre Richard, Orelsan, Jonathan Cohen or McFly and Carlito, Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be part of the adventure, in the role of Antivirus.

On Instagram, Zlatan Ibrahimovic announced himself this Thursday in the future Asterix embodied and directed by Guillaume Canet.

If it is indeed Caius Antivirus, the stainless Swedish striker of AC Milan will take over the character played by Jean-Paul Rouve in the mythical

Mission Cleopatra

(2002) orchestrated by Alain Chabat: that of a Roman legionary from the camp of Babaorum.

When can we compare the performance of the former PSG star to that of Neymar, a fleeting monk in

La Casa de Papel

, or to that of the legendary Walter Spanghero, rugby consultant in

The Graduates of the last row

 ?
