The Expendables franchise is powered by aging action stars, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for a young face to join the old crowd.
Per Variety, The Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth has boarded The Expendables 2. He’ll play a sniper, though more specific details about his role are being kept under wraps.
The Expendables 2 will be directed by Simon West and reunited Sylvester Stallone with Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews and, in more expanded roles, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Joining the team are Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Shooting on The Expendables 2 begins next month with Lionsgate releasing the finished film in 2012.
