Curtis Jackson, better known by his stage name 50 Cent, has joined the cast of upcoming action-comedy ‘Spy’ opposite Melissa McCarthy.

The star-studded cast also includes Jude Law, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Miranda Hart and Nia Long.

Feig (Bridesmaids) will direct from a script he wrote and will produce the project alongside Jessie Henderson, Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping.
