You're Next star Sharni Vinson joins the female Expendables

Slasher heroine Sharni Vinson has reportedly signed on to lend her fists to the female Expendables .

Collider report the casting, stating that their sources have confirmed that Vinson will be getting in on the action alongside confirmed stars Katee Sackhoff and Gina Carano.

Vinson has taken film festivals by storm in the last couple of years with her role in slasher comedy You're Next - which just so happens to be Total Film 's sponsored film at this weekend's Film4 FrightFest.

Frankly, we can't think of anybody better suited to the film, especially after having seen Vinson in action.

While there's still no word on the spin-off's title (it's got to be Expendababes , surely?), we know that Dusty Southern is currently writing the script.

And if the film's casting people need suggestions on other kick-ass ladies to add to the film, they can always check out our suggestions . We've done all their research for them.
