Earlier this week, we heard Donnie Yen was offered a role in The Expendables 2. Yen is a talented action star, so the news item is self-explanatory. Yet there was additional motivation for Nu Image and Millennium to reach out to Yen. Variety reports the studios are in talks with an unspecified Chinese distributor to co-produce the sequel. The deal hangs on the condition that a local actor must be cast to boost the movie’s prospect at the Chinese box office. If the deal is made, the Expendables would head to China for a number of scenes.
Shooting is scheduled to start in Bulgaria in September, directed by Simon West (The Mechanic). I think it’d be cool to see add martial arts to the sequel. But since we’re so close to filming, I am curious if the hypothetical China scenes are additions to the script specific to the country, or a reworking of current material. Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis alongside rumor additions John Travolta, Chuck Norris, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. The Expendables is scheduled for release on August 17, 2012.

I hope in the sequel, there will be more amazing fight scenes.
It would be good if they include Jackie Chan, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris, Michael Jai White, Kurt Angle and Bill Goldberg.
“More amazing fight scenes??”
You can barely even see the fight scenes in the first movie they were so bad.
I really hope Donnie Yen doesn’t sign onto this movie. He will be ruined like Jet Li was and be included in horrible action scenes.
They are probably considered amazing to a ‘americanized’ or mainstream audiance but for someone who watches Hong Kong action films they are far from it. The scenes were entertaining to say the least…
I also hope Yen doesn’t sign on for the movie…
Ye, totally agree…Expendables was a crappy movie…it was great just for 80′s nostalgic guys…
Oh my…Stallone is really pathetic.
Such negative things to say…… Why? It’s a Hollywood film AND not Hong Kong flick! Do you really want them to be flying around on wires like in Hong Kong flicks? Stallone is pathetic? You try and write the movie….direct the movie….AND star in it(with very little use of stunt doubles) all at the age of 65!! Sounds like only jealously to me!!
For such criticism you all have….when are you all going to put out a movie?
Was it a ground breaking movie that has been done before? No
Was the story deep? No
BUT….
All the actors played their parts great! The action was great!
And….it was pretty frickin funny too!!!!
I will definitely pay money to see it again! You guy’s should try not to take it so seriously! It’s a movie…sit back have some popcorn and a beer!
Ok maybe it would be easy if Vin Diesel, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and maybe Tyler Perry could join The Expendables II somehow.
