Gymnast Simone Biles and actor Mr. T are slated to perform on the 24th season of the dance competition, though ABC has not officially confirmed.

Biles, who dazzled as a member of the U.S. womenโ€™s gymnastics at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, took home five gold medals, including individual golds in the all-around, vault and floor-exercise events.

Mr. T, a former wrestler, is best-known as Rocky nemesis Clubber Lang in 1982โ€™s Rocky III and B.A. Baracus in the 1980s TV seriesย The A-Team.

The full cast, including celebrity dancers and their pro partners, will be announced Wednesday on ABCโ€™s Good Morning America.

The show, which pairs politicians, athletes, actors and singers with professional dancers, will premiere March 20 at 8 p.m. ET.
