Sylvester Stallone has confirmed reports suggesting action men Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris have signed up to join the cast of his new The Expendables movie.
 
He tells EW.com the two stars will join himself, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the action film sequel, which will begin shooting in Bulgaria later this month (Sep11).
 
And Stallone says film fans can expect a "big showdown" between himself and Van Damme in the movie.

This time around Stallone will not be in the director's chair as Simon West has been brought in to helm the project.

The Expendables topped the U.S. box office when it was released last summer.
