For Pixar’s Monsters University, Billy Crystal, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi will reprise their voice roles from 2001′s Monsters, Inc., but the new film will also feature plenty of new characters.

EW has revealed more actors who are bringing the animated movie’s monsters to life. Among the talent lending their voices to the film are Nathan Fillion (Castle), John Krasinski (The Office), Tyler Labine (Tucker & Dale vs. Evil), Bobby Moynihan (Girls), Beth Behrs (2 Broke Girls), and Pixar staples Bonnie Hunt (Cheaper By the Dozen) and John Ratzenberger (Cheers).
