Morton was seen recently as Silas Stone in the DC Extended Universe. His character tries to save his son’s life through a process that eventually turns him into Cyborg, played by Ray Fisher. Both Tate and Morton are ready to showcase their comedic skills in Going Dutch.
In Going Dutch, Joe Morton will play General Davidson, who has a long-standing rivalry with Colonel Patrick Quinn, played by Leary. The tension between them will increase as Davidson gains more power because he never says no. Meanwhile, Quinn will face consequences for defending his controversial beliefs.
