Body swap comedy The Change-Up already added one attractive leading lady to its cast last week, with Olivia Wilde signing on. Now the testosterone level is about to be balanced further with word that Leslie Mann has joined in.

Mann, last seen in her other half (that would be Judd Apatow)’s Funny People and Robert Rodriguez family comedy Shorts, has joined a cast that already includes Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds.

The Change-Up follows a married man (Bateman) who unwittingly switches places with his very single best pal (Reynolds) and starts a relationship with a female co-worker. While Wilde was mentioned as playing the co-worker, we’re going to take a guess and say Mann will be filling the role of Bateman’s wife, because these days, she always seems to play someone's wife.

With Reynolds finding time in his packed schedule to work on the film, director David Dobkin is even now getting ready to direct the script from Hangover duo Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, with a US release tentatively pencilled in for next August.
