Stallone at work on The Expendables 2

By Webmaster on January 30, 2011 / 1 min read

Sylvester Stallone is on a mission to reunite The Expendables for another action adventure.

Photo credit: Karen Ballard“We’re at work on it,” Stallone confirmed to CNN at the Hollywood premiere of Jason Statham’s The Mechanic. “Because you have about five different scenarios, you try to figure out which one will work the best: what area, the kind of stunts, and most important, what is the heart of the film? What is the reason for the mission instead of just guys running around? Some purpose. That’s the hard part.”

The first Expendables movie starred Stallone, Statham, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture as a group of mercenaries sent to South America to assassinate a dictator.

It is available now on Blu-ray and DVD. We’ll bring you all the developments on the sequel as it happens. Are you excited about this news? If so, let us know in the comments!

    if stallone is directing the movie, i aint feeling no pain now

  • KevApril 1, 2011

    i like '' the expendables '' very much cuz i felt much action and adventure ... will mickey rourke play tool in the expendables 2? it's a good question but i think Lundgren as gunnar is amazing and his presence is unbelievable ... stallone is the best cuz he plays Barn and he fights austin ... excellent battle at the end ...

    Expendables was Ok, supporting characters were great and helped to carry the film. It will be very interesting to see if the second is better than the first, historically they always seem to fall short. Just keep slipping the Jab and "Go for it".

    OK for that but this time no 5 minute cameos. Bruce Willis seemed to be a person in the first movie not a man to screw around with so this time the plot revolves around him, maybe as the bad guy. Can't say much about Arnold except as he is still Governor. How about Jesse Ventura? I guess Stonecold Steve Austin is out as his character was killed in the first one. How about Dwayne "the rock" Johnson, John Cena, Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood (yes Clint Eastwood), Vin Desal. Liam Neilson is becoming the action hero now.

  • mikeMarch 25, 2011

  • Prakash MukherjeeMarch 20, 2011

    Dear Mr.Stallone, Thank you for I saw "The Expendables", it is awesome actions and weapons combats. It is very great! But why Mr.Arnold & Mr.Willis is a Cameo role in The Church?! Please, I just thinking, very very please!!!!! In next time (Expendables 2) I want to see that Heroes teams as you, Mr.Schwarzenegger, Mr.VanDamme, Mr.Dolph, Mr.Jet Li, Mr.Statham, Mr.Terry Crews and Mr.Randy Couture etc. That Villains teams as Mr.Willis, Mr.Bolo Young and Mr.Ronnie Coleman (Bodybuilder) so Ronnie looks thrill etc. Please, Expendables 2 will be most very very actions combats and huge wars after now, working finish. I really want that rated "R+ Bloods, Gores and Huge Combats", very very very please please please!!!!!!!!!! But I don't like "PG-13"!!! Thanks!!!!! I am exciting too...and can't waiting for it. Prakash Mukherjee

    Hello Sylvester, Its a very great news to hear that you are working on a other expendables movie. The first one was awesome, it was very good, thanks for that. Do you think in the second one we have a chance to see jcvd. Ok bye Stephane

  • TooCoolForSchool22March 10, 2011

    Bolo should play the exact same character he was in "Double Impact" for the Expendables 2. An intimidating ruthless henchman with a scary scar on his face that beats the living shi+ out of everybody.

  • Mike ShawMarch 10, 2011

    Expendables 2 should be set in like China or Korea and Bolo Yeung can play a bad guy that Jet Li's character knows.

    Very good news, I hope we will have a second film harder than the first with a dream cast .... and please do not fall into the stupidity of 3D.

  • Michael jJanuary 31, 2011
