Moviehole has information that Taylor Lautner is being courted for a role in The Expendables 2. The first movie was a sleeper hit from last summer (see trailer below) with action stars like Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, “Stone Cold”” Steve Austin, Jet Li, and Jason Statham proving that in their 40’s and 50’s they still have some serious action moves.

According to Moviehole, “…we have word that Taylor Lautner is the number one new guy they want to add to the cast.

Lionsgate is quite pleased with Taylor Lautner’s role in the upcoming action flick Abduction, and they are pulling hard for him to be in the movie. Sylvester Stallone is also impressed with the nineteen-year-old’s physic and stunt performing abilities. He seems to be one of the few young actors out there, with the exception of Marvel’s stable of buff dudes, that can actually go toe-to-toe with some of these aging, yet still in great shape, icons of the action genre.”
