Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction) has been tapped to star opposite Michael Fassbender in The Agency (fka The Department), George Clooney’s remake of French political drama series The Bureau.
The political thriller follows Martian (Fassbender), a covert CIA agent, ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station.
