Actor Ha Jung-woo has accepted a role -- rejected by Won Bin and Kim Woo-bin - in a movie based on fantasy webtoon “With God,” media reports said.

Ha, 37, will play an angel of death in the movie, which is about a man who meets three angels of death after dying and is taken to an after-life court judged by the king of the netherworld.

The movie, directed by Kim Yong-wha, is scheduled to start shooting next March.

Ha has appeared in many Korean hit movies, including “The Berlin File” (2013), “Kundo: Age of the Rampant” (2014) and “Assassination” (2015).
