From a website I subscribe to:
Just last week, we had word that “The Expendables 2” had added more macho muscle with appearences (real appearances, not just cameos) from Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Today, that screen is going to have to stretch and flex a little wider, as Sylvester Stallone confirmed that Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme have joined the cast.
Even Stallone is excited to clench his jaw across from the Muscles from Brussels at long last. “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 told EW. He remained tight-lipped as to what their roles would entail. Does this mean Van Damme will be a villain? An Expendable who turns on the gang midway through the plot? The mind reels at the possibilities of how the punches will land, and whether Norris may, through sheer will, be the only survivor.
But that’s not all. Stallone hints they’re looking to make the cast even meatier. He hopes to get Nicolas Cage and John Travolta in on the action, but if he can’t land them, he’d like to sign some other hungry men of the 1980s.
“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 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.”
Van Damme vs Stallone? JC would kick his ass big time! Maybe Chuck Norris helps Stallone out - that would even the odds out, hell yeah!!
