Foxx and Cooper already set to star

Jennifer Garner is circling a co-starring role in the upcoming Universal thriller "The Kingdom."

If Garner commits to the Peter Berg-directed project, it would be her first feature role after "Alias" reaches its series conclusion later this month.

The film focuses on an FBI team investigating a terrorist bombing in a Middle Eastern country. Jamie Foxx and Chris Cooper are already in place and, according to the industry trade papers, Garner would play a member of the FBI team.

Production on "The Kingdom" is expected to begin in June.

Garner ends her run as Sydney Bristow on ABC's "Alias" when the spy drama has its finale on Monday, May 22. The new mother already has the romantic comedy "Catch and Release" in the can. Previous credits for Garner include "13 Going On 30" and "Elektra."
