Steve Austin in The Expendables with Mickey Rourke, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li!

If Austin wants to be an action star, here is his chance. No affiliation (push) from the WWE and some of greatest names in action film history star along with him in The Expendables due out sometime next year. Stallone directs (and we know he can tell a good story, Rocky) and stars with Schwarzenegger.

As far as I know this is the first time Stallone and Schwarzenegger have appeared on the big screen together and it should get huge publicity. They opened a restaurant together (planet Hollywood) but never filmed a movie. Austin will probably get buried in the hype and have to really steal the show in a scene or two to get any attention.

Interesting to note that both have appeared onscreen with wrestlers before. Stallone and Hulk Hogan in Rocky III, Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura in Predator
