Jonah Hill has signed up for a role in Django Unchained.

The 21 Jump Street star previously turned down a role in the spaghetti western movie - which is being directed by Quentin Tarantino - due to scheduling conflicts, but has now signed on to play a different character in the movie.

Hill initially rejected the role of Scotty Harmony, the kid who loses the Django's (Jamie Foxx) slave wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) to evil plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) – which results in him being involved in a showdown with the titular slave-turned-bounty hunter.

Hill's new role in the movie has not yet been revealed, but he joins a cast that includes Christoph Waltz and Samuel L Jackson.

Along with their respective roles in Django Unchained, Hill and DiCaprio will also join forces for Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, which is based on Jordan Belfort's memoir of his rise and fall as a stockbroker.
