Liam Hemsworth joins cast of THE EXPENDABLES 2

Liam Hemsworth has just added some youthful muscle to the cast of The Expendables 2. Variety reports that Hemsworth has joined the cast and will star alongside Sylvester Stallone in action fest directed by Simon West from Millennium Films and Lionsgate.

Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews and Randy Couture are expected to reprise their roles. Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger are set to have bulkier roles in the sequel. The cast will also have newcomers Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris. 

Hemsworth blazes his way onto the big screen as Gale Hawthorne opposite Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen in Gary Ross' adaptation of The Hunger Games. Filming begins next month on Expendables 2.

He is the brother of Thor's Chris Hemsworth, and has starred in The Last Song with Miley Cyrus and just finished the indie drama AWOL. He's also attached to star in Chuck Russell's Arabian Nights.

I think this is an interesting addition and am interested in learning about his character. The Hunger Games is something I am highly anticipating. What are your thoughts?
