List of possible cast are
1. Antonio banderas
2. Mel Gibson
3. Jackie chan
4. Steven segal
5. Wesley snipes
6. Nicholas cage
It has been rumored for months now, but today
we have official confirmation that Mel Gibson will portray the
antagonist in next year’s The Expendables 3.
Moreover, the third entry in the action
throwback franchise that is Expendables – once
again starring and written by Sylvester Stallone
– has added yet another 1990s icon of the
machismo sub-genre to its cast – in the shape
of the El Mariachi and (former) Zorro himself,
Antonio Banderas.
Gibson’s name entered the Expendables 3
Thanks to EW , we now have official
confirmation from Stallone that he’s recruited
the original Mad Max to appear in Expendables
3 – after Sly not-so-ambiguously teased the
possibility about a month back; EW also has
the exclusive on Banderas signing up as a cast
member.
Banderas isn’t the only longtime name on
Stallone’s Expendables cast wish list that have
joined the party for round three. Earlier this
week, Sly revealed that Harrison Ford will
make an appearance; in addition, it seems
that Jackie Chan and Wesley Snipes have
been secured as cast members for the movie.
However, we are currently awaiting for
confirmation either way, with regard to the
rumor about Steven Seagal saying yes to an
Expendables role – though, Nicolas Cage
himself said that he probably won’t be
working on the project (assuming he’s telling
the truth…).
With all the new cast additions – plus returning
players like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce
Willis (read: the story behind him being
replaced) – there is more than a fair chance
that some of them will be used in a rather
limited capacity in the third Expendables
installment (a la Chuck Norris’ glorified cameo
in Expendables 2 ).
