Couture Lands Role In Major Action Movie

MSNBC.com is reporting that former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Randy Couture has secured a role in the upcoming action flick "The Expendables".

The role was originally written for Wesley Snipes and was reworked for Couture.

Unlike roles given to mma stars in the past, this $60 action movie comes with legitimate star power.

Couture will co-star with Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Oscar Award winner Forest Whitaker.  Whitaker plays a cia agent while the other actors play characters in a band of mercenaries.

This is one of 3 movies that 2009 will see Couture in.
