Victoria Beckham’s movie career is apparently taking off. (Insert eye-rolling here….) The ex-Spice-Girl-turned-fashion-designer has reportedly landed a role in the next installment of the Madagascar animated film series.

Beckham has been cast in first Hollywood role alongside Ben Stiller and David Schwimmer in the upcoming Madagascar 3, according to new reports. The 35-year-old mother of three will voice a character in the film, which is due for release in 2012.

The first Madagascar movie, about a group of zoo animals accidentally shipped back to Africa, was a hit at the international box office upon its release in 2005. A successful sequel, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, followed in 2008.

This won’t be VB’s first venture into the world of animation; the singer provided a voice-over for the Nickelodeon hit SpongeBob Squarepants earlier this year.
