Simon "Spaced" Pegg will join the cast of the third Ice Age instalment this year. He'll provide the voice of Buck, a swashbuckling, one-eyed weasel who helps Manny and the group navigate the world of the dinosaurs.
Our old buddy Pegg - who we're also looking forward to seeing in the role of Scotty in Star Trek this may - said of his role in Ice Age 3, “It's been a blast bringing Buck to life. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two films, so it was a real treat to become part of the Ice Age family. What's more I get to be in 3D!"
Yep, Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs will be released in the UK on 1 July and for the first time will also be available in digital 3D.
