There's both a new addition and a change happening to the cast of Guy Ritchie's new gangster film Toff Guys. Colin Farrell is jumping aboard, while Michelle Dockery will replace Kate Beckinsale in the film.

Toff Guys finds Matthew McConaughey as a man who has built a massive empire growing and selling weed, but is now looking to sell the business, and the various characters who are either in his corner or plotting against him. Dockery will play his wife, while Cray Rich Asians' Henry Golding is a Vietnamese gangster and Hugh Grant is on as Fletcher, a British gossip journalist with a reputation of going into people’s lives, who snaps pictures of McConaughey's character in order to blackmail him. Farrell, meanwhile, will be coach, who trains MMA fighters.

Ritchie, returning to his old criminal drama stomping grounds after some stabs at blockbusters (including the upcoming Aladdin), wrote the script with Marn Davies and Ivan Atkinson and already has the cameras rolling.

Farrell will next be seen in Disney's live-action/CG Dumbo, out on 29 March. Dockery has been at work on the Downton Abbey film, itself due 13 September next year.
