Taylor Lautner has landed another action role to add to his resume - the chiselled teen star is set to portray Stretch Armstrong in an upcoming blockbuster.
The 17-year-old actor, who was recently confirmed to play extreme sports star-turned-secret agent Max Steel, will show off the muscles he acquired to play a werewolf in Twilight as he stars in a new film based on the bendable action figure Stretch Armstrong.
The movie will be beamed across big screens using new 3D technology.
A spokesperson for Universal Pictures says, "In the past two years, Taylor has emerged as a real star at the global box office. He brings the perfect balance of energy and athleticism to the role of an unlikely super hero with a fantastic super power. We couldn't be more pleased that he has agreed to be our Stretch."
Stretch Armstrong is to spring into theaters in 2010.
