Jackie Chan has joined the cast of The Expendables 3.
The actor will be joining the Sylvester Stallone project in "more than just a minor role".
Chan said at a Kuala Lumpur press conference promoting Chinese Zodiac: "Sly had invited me to be in Expendables 2 but I was too busy filming CZ12 and couldn't make a commitment to the film.
“But he did extend his invitation to the third movie, which I agreed on the condition that I will be appearing as more than just a minor role with a few scenes.”
Chan said that he also suggested to Stallone to rework the film into a more "buddy-buddy" style movie to suit his own style. Stallone is now refashioning the script to that effect, with production expected to begin next year.
