Stallone Confirms The Cast Of "The Expendables"

Sylvester Stallone has sent a letter to Ain't It Cool News to announce that Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent has joined the cast of "The Expendables". He will be replacing Forest Whitaker who had to pull out due to schedule conflicts. Stallone also confirms the rest of the film's cast which includes the following:

Randy Couture - Toll Road
Eric Roberts - Monroe
Mickey Rourke - Tool (former Expendable)
Jet Li - Bao
Jason Statham - Lee Christmas
Charisma Carpenter - Lacy
Giselle Itie - Sandra
Sylvester Stallone - Barney 'the schizo' Ross

What's interesting is that Dolph Lundgren is missing from the list. Perhaps he is only making a cameo just like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Variety has also reported that WWE alum 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin has been added to the cast as well.

The Expendables" is about a team of mercenaries who are sent to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. The film is expected to be released on April 23, 2010
