The Expendables 2 is on the way! The dream team of action stars is back and older than ever! Sylvester Stallone, who wrote, directed, and starred in The Expendables, has said that he will not be writing or directing this sequel. David Agosto and Ken Kaufman are slated to pen the screenplay and there are no mentions who will be directing yet.
Throw on your fancy pants because the cast could potentially be even more amazing than the first, and you don’t want to be caught in your raggedy old knickers when The Expendables 2 hits theaters August 17, 2012. There are a ton of casting rumors floating about including that there’s a big chance of Jean-Claude Van Damme signing on this time as long as Steven Seagal is NOT in the film. Also, since Arnold Schwarzenegger’s political career came to an end, Stallone wants to get him for a bigger role. Oh, and it’s been reported that Bruce Willis may play a super villain role. Other potential Expendables 2 cast include Charlie Sheen, Hulk Hogan, Steven Seagal, Ryan Seacrest (What?), Mr. T, Carl Weathers, Chuck Norris, Dwayne Johnson, and a few others. I hope they at least bag a few new faces. I would love to see Chuck Norris back in action!
A brief synopsis for The Expendables 2 has been released. Reading through it was exhilarating until I got to one part. You’ll know what it is when you get there.
Warning: The Synopsis Spoils Some Stuff!
I was reading the synopsis for the first time aloud to a friend and my reaction went a little like this: “The Expendables are back and this time it’s personal!” Bouncing in my seat. Yes! Classic action movie line. I love it when things get personal!
“After Tool (Mickey Rourke), the heart and soul of the Expendables, is brutally murdered on a mission, his comrades swear to avenge him.” :-O Ahh, spoiler alert!
“They’re not the only ones who want blood. Tool’s beautiful young and wild daughter Fiona embarks on her own revenge mission,” Yes, yes, yes! We get an ass kicking female!
“complicating matters” Wait…
“when she is captured” No…
“and ransomed by a ruthless dictator plotting to destroy a resistance movement.” No, no, no000000000..
“Now Barney and the Expendables must risk everything to save her and humanity.” Sigh.
Women! Why do they always have to be the captured ones? Well, The Expendables was meant to be overflowing with the manliest of men flexing their muscles and showing off their strength, so I guess I’ll overlook the female captive and watch all the yumminess on the screen.
This is the Action Flick Chick, and you’ve just been kicked in the ass!

I didn’t get too much into the storyline with the first one so I won’t expect anything deep this time! Just give me a scene where one of them throws a missle while the other shot at it and I’m a happy girl!
If there’s one thing I’ve been waiting forever for, it’s an evil Bruce Willis! That and Ryan Seacrest getting kicked in the teeth. 😀
MORE BRUCE WILLIS!!!!
I know some people speak of The Expendables’ lack of plot.. but I for one was really proud when they didn’t betray either Sylvester Stallone’s character or Giselle Itie’s character by having him stay with her or her go with him at the end. Even “plot-y” movies are often not ballsy enough to make an ending where there’s neither tragedy or a traditional happily ever after that slaps one character (or both) in the face.
