Francis Capra has reportedly signed on to reprise his role as Eli "Weevil" Navarro in the upcoming Veronica Mars movie. News of the casting was shared by director Rob Thomas, who broke the news in an update to backers of the film on Kickstarter.
"Playing a wrong-side-of-the-tracks-kid in a town full of privileged peers, Francis found a terrific — and difficult — balance between tough and soulful," Thomas wrote. "I couldn't be happier that he'll be back with us for the film."
Capra has kept busy on the small screen since the CW axed Veronica Mars in 2007. His appearances include "Friday Night Lights," "The Closer," "Sons of Anarchy" and "Bones." He is the most recent addition to the growing cast, which also includes Kristen Bell, Enrico Colantoni, Jason Dohring, Percy Daggs III and Chris Lowell.
