Wrestling star 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin has joined the cast of Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables.

Austin, whose acting credits include The Longest Yard and The Condemned, will star alongside Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Forest Whittaker and Mickey Rourke in the action movie.

The film centres on a group of mercenaries assigned to overthrow a South American dictator by the US government.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel actress Charisma Carpenter signed up earlier this week to play the girlfriend of Statham's character.
