- 2 EXPENDABLES MAY FACE OFF
 |
| John Travolta & Nicolas Cage could be Expendable |
It seems now that Sylvester Stallone is adamant in getting
every major yestr-year action star to be in the next installment of the
Expendables. The most recent report had Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis
recruited for bigger roles and now Stallone has gone on the record to confirm
that Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris are officially aboard, with Nicolas
Cage currently in talks and John Travolta still on his wish list.
Van Damme, of course, turned Sly down when asked about the
first film, but seems to have had a change of heart now he’s seen how it works.
“We’ll have a big showdown between me and Van Damme, which has been anticipated
for a long time, so it should be a good one,” Stallone tells Entertainment
Weekly.
“We’ve got Chuck Norris and I think Nic Cage,” says Sly.
“We’re trying to work out different scenarios. I like using people that had a
moment and then maybe have fallen on some hard times and give them another
shot. So we’re always looking for actors like Michael Biehn (The original Kyle
Reese in the Terminator) and Michael Pare. I like those kinds of guys. Someone
did it for me and I like to see if I can do it for them. We also need some new
blood in there, a Navy Seal-type, because with the Expendables none of them
have 20-20 vision anymore. They need some help, man.”

Might that new blood refer to a certain former Twilight
werewolf currently itching to prove his action credentials with Abduction?
Taylor Lautner’s name has come up in past rumours, but we're taking a strictly
wait-and-see approach to that bit of casting...
With Simon West calling the shots this time around, The
Expendables 2 team will head to Bulgaria at the end of the month to start
filming, as the movie will be releasing sometime in August 2012.
