Get ready to geek out, Godzilla fans! I’m sorry… Gojira fans.
The star of the original 1954 Japanese monster-movie classic is getting ready for his close-up once again. Akira Takarada, who played diver Hideto Ogata in Ishiro Honda‘s tale of an irradiated lizard blown up to colossal proportions that wreaks urban terror, will have a role — probably just a cameo — in director Gareth Edwards‘ new Godzilla remake. Edwards posted this image of himself with the 78-year-old actor to the official Godzilla Facebook page.

The new movie, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Juliette Binoche, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, and David Strathairn, will come out in 2014, just in time for the original Godzilla’s 60th anniversary.
