Andy Garcia has become the latest name to join the forthcoming ‘The Expendables 4’ for Lionsgate and Millennium Media.

Garcia is said to be playing the role of a CIA agent assigned to accompany the Expendables on their dangerous mission.

At the end of August, an announcement was made listing the full cast for the follow-up, with Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture returning following their previous involvement in the first three movies. Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson, Megan Fox and Tony Jaa are newcomers to the fourth.

The focal point of the latest entry is said to focus Statham and Fox as the film’s leads.
