Hollywood action legends Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren are set to star again in the upcoming motion picture “Black Water”. However, the two actors will not be against each other’s side in the film as they will be working together as allies for the first time!

According to a report by news agency The Hollywood Reporter, the action-thriller film unfolds the story of a deep-cover agent played by Van Damme, who was imprisoned in a submarine ran by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Lungren’s role, on the other hand, was not yet revealed.

“Black Water” was written by scriptwriter Chad Law and produced by Richard Switzer and Tyler Konney of Dawn's Light Media. It is projected to hit the theaters in 2018.

The stars have worked together in the 1992 science fiction action film “Universal Soldiers” directed by renowned German film director, screenwriter, and producer Roland Emmerich. 17 years after its release, the movie had a sequel titled “Universal Soldier: Regeneration” (also known as “Universal Soldier: A New Beginning”).

Meanwhile, Lundgren’s Instagram account was recently making noise in the online world because of his sexy and fit body posts. In one photo that he shared on the app, the 59-year-old actor from Sweden shared to his followers the usual workout session with her girlfriend Jenny Andersson on the beach.

However, the “Expendables” star has still a lot to offer aside from his rock-hard body. According to an article by Men’s Fitness, Lundgren has an impressive IQ of 160. Furthermore, he also holds a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney.

Lundgren rose to fame after portraying the role of the Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in the 1985 film “ Rocky IV” alongside Sylvester Stallone. Van Damme, on the other hand, was known for his box-office films "Bloodsport”, “Kickboxer”, "Lionheart”, and many more!
