The Ausiello Files is this morning reporting the quite marvellous news that Mr Dolph Lundgren will be appearing in the season premiere of Chuck's fourth run.

Lundgren will, of course, always be Ivan Drago to us, and in the new season of Chuck, he's appearing as a guest star in the opening episode, along with Harry Dean Stanton.

The genius here, of course, would be to limit Lundgren's character to just saying the handful of lines he uttered in the fourth Rocky film. Surely, at the very least, there has to be an "I must break you" in there somewhere? Or, even better, an "If he dies, he dies"? That'd be just great.

You can next see Lundgren, incidentally, in the upcoming Sylvester Stallone action-fest, The Expendables. But we might have told you about that film quite a bit on this site already. Ahem.

Chuck returns in the autumn. And the Ausiello Files story is here.
