Schilling, who appears opposite Zac Efron in war drama The Lucky One, will be joined by Tate Donovan and The Office's Nelson Franklin in Affleck's directorial follow-up to The Town.
Argo centres on a 1979 CIA mission in which agents fabricate a sci-fi Hollywood production in order to save six Americans from the Tehran hostage crisis.
Schilling will play Christine, a former teacher married to Affleck's exfiltration expert Tony Mendez; Donovan the Tehran-based US embassy worker Bob Anders; and Franklin will star as a reporter, reports Variety.
George Clooney and Grant Heslov will produce Argo through their Smokehouse production company.
Smokehouse has previously produced Good Night, and Good Luck and The Men Who Stare at Goats.
