Last month, we brought you the news when Hugh Laurie (House M.D., Mister Pip) joined the cast of director José Padilha‘s (Elite Squad, Elite Squad 2) forthcoming remake of RoboCop as the villainous CEO of Omni Corp, which creates the title character for its own gain.

Now, Deadline reports that Jackie Earle Haley (Dark Shadows, Lincoln) is the latest to join the cast of the film. The actor will play Maddox, the man who gives the titular character military training before before he heads out to clean up the streets of Detroit.

RoboCop is slated to hit theaters on August 9th, 2013.
