Stuntman and martial artist ALAIN MOUSSI (pictured above) will be taking on Jean-Claude Van Damme’s role of ‘Kurt Sloan’.

Also joining the cast is UFC/MMA champion GEORGE ST. PIERRE, who can currently be seen in ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’,

and former WWE superstar DAVE BAUTISTA (Man With The Iron Fists, Riddick), who will be wrecking havoc in this summer’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’.
