Mars made his big screen debut as a precocious seven year old in the 1992 film Honeymoon in Vegas as Young Elvis, already well known for his Elvis impersonation.
While Mars continued to pursue a career in music, he did also lend his voice to the animated sequel Rio 2.
However, this will be Mars’ first big-screen role as an adult, though little is known about the role he will be playing.

Disney plunked down a whopping $75 million for the worldwide rights to the Hamilton movie, believed to be the biggest price paid for a completed film, according to Deadline.
The film was already shot in 2016, just two weeks before the original cast left, and it’s believed to clock in at two hours and 40 minutes.
As for Mars, he has also hosted a 2012 episode of Saturday Night Live, where he also served as a musical guest to showcase his versatility as a performer.
