Well now that THE EXPENDABLES is officially a hit, Sylvester Stallone is on cloud nine trying to plan the sequel.

He's taken to Twitter to start brainstorming, and said after a dinner with Bruce Willis, was thinking about making him the supervillain of the next film, meaning possibly the Expendables get betrayed by the government A-Team style if "Church" really did work for the CIA?

He's also soliciting ideas as to where the film should take place, asking where the "most dangerous places in the world" are. Fans have responded with North Korea, South Africa and Thailand, but he was most enthused about Harry Knowles's (of AICN) suggestions of Iran, Afghanistan or Milan.

He was less excited about the suggestion to (spoilers) bring Stone Cold Steve Austin back to life as Willis's twin bald brother, and idea both fans and Willis himself apparently had. His response: "Damn, do I have to battle that monster again!!!!!!!????"

Feel free to send him your own ideas, including a potential cast list, which I'm sure he's also working on. But never forget these immortal words of wisdom, last tweeted by Stallone himself, "the hardest part of making action films is attempting to inject heart and soul.. bullets are easy , emotions are hard. LIKE LIFE ITSELF."

Like life itself, true words were never spoken Sly.

Extra Tidbit: This two minute cameo was the best thing Willis has done in years. I'd fully love for him to actually be the main villain of the sequel.

The Middle East?
Wasn't that in Rambo 3? Wasn't Rambo in a jugle? Are we remaking Rambo? WHAT'S HAPPENING?!? Seriously, put them in Central American slums. The Expendables would fit right in. Oh, and Micky Rourke needs to shoot somebody in the sequel.

A sequel would be awesome, I absolutely loved The Expendables. As long as no hack like Chuck Norris or Steven Seagal is involved. I absolutely hate them.



Gimme Kurt Russell!

I did like seeing some of these guys together, but that novelty wore off quick. The best scene was the inciting incident with Rourke. I really don't think Stallone was acting in that scene, but just moved by Mickey's performance. That guy can act.



The rest of it was pretty lame. Stone Cold on fire looked like shit. Bullets and bombs, yada yada yada. Please no sequel Sly. Come out...

Here is an idea. Get someone else to write and direct the thing. I like Sly and everyone else in the cast but the movie was a hot mess. Number 2 could be awesome if Sly would hand over the reigns to someone else.

a better story?... really!?
The sequel doesn't need a better story. No one saw the 1st one for it's story. It's success came from it's all-star lineup and the action, THAT'S IT. In fact I'm pretty sure, they never actually complete the mission, did anyone notice? Nope.

Do you realize you just created an argument for movies like Grown Ups to be made? Yes, everyone go see the shitty Expendables movie with shitty acting and shitty writing so that Hollywood can keep making shitty movies.

Of course he is...
I listen to Joe Rogans podcast & Eddie Bravo mentioned that Stallone had stole the idea for this movie from a friend of his. The name is credited in the movie. But not after the dude had to sue Stallone to do it.



Don't give him shit. Let him write for himself.

A LITLLE BIT ABOUT WILLIS ....
... his last great performances were in Sin City and Planet Terror, and in latter he plays the villain. Bringing him as nemesis in 2 would be great, and Sly should consider bringing Arnie too in the game, since his governating business is almost at end, and he needs to get back in the shape. :D

Hmm... here's a tip
Write an actual story! All the first one was Stallone trying to make his own "Dirty Dozen"/"Magnificent Seven" movie. I don't care how many actors you fill into one movie, if the story sucks, it ain't worth seeing again.



One moment Eric Roberts' character is there to find out how his product is going, then he wants to usurp the dictator's dictatorship and become one himself,...

One moment Eric Roberts' character is there to find out how his product is going, then he wants to usurp the dictator's dictatorship and become one himself, then his plans go bad and decides "I want to kidnap the girl!" even though before he wanted her dead. Then, there's the silly subplot between Jason Statham and Carpenter's characters. If she saw him beat her boyfriend up, regardless if he was jerk and abused her, she'd more afraid to go with someone like him. Terry Crews, Jet Li, and Randy Couture had zero screentime and nothing to do. The fight scenes were ridiculous. The CGI sucked.



Just a disappointing waste.

First one SUCKED ASS
Expendables sucked ass. The fight scenes were chopped together so sloppy you couldn't see anything. I mean, Jet Li fighting Lungren and you couldn't see a DAMN thing! Same goes for the rest of the action as well.



Besides that, the movies called "The Expendables" and all we got were Stallone and Statham and their stupid, UNFUNNY dialogue. "Let me recite you a poem". Really? What a...

Jet Li and Terry Crews had like zero screen time and I didn't even know who the other dude was and didn't care one bit either!



I'll be down for a sequel IF they actually shoot some massive action scenes, and do some decent choreography and back the camera up so we can see the fights!!!

I've got to agree with you. A two hour 'action' movie with only four action scenes in it, and all four scenes shot on a camera that was strapped down to paint mixer. Then we had to suffer through the dialog...Jesus! And Rouke literally drooling through his lines in that horrendous two minute monologue that was done in extreme closeup.

Make a 90-min. movie that's comprised of one mission only. Throw every into the action right from the get-go and don't let up.

They all need to die in the sequel. I didn't care for the first as much, but them all dying in the sequel plus a scene with Arnold emerging from the fiery wreckage would make me a happy man.

Too many of the other great action stars of the past have either already said no or have spazzed out so badly that you really wouldn't want them. The current action stars we like such as Vin or the Rock would want to much "ME" time for the camera.

This is good news. Willis for the villian in the sequel would be a nice game changer for him, since he has played the good guy for most his life. Would be cool to see him as a villian.



Cast wise, all I want to see is Chuck Norris added. That's it. Movie would be so epic if he were cast.

I only have one suggestion: Nicolas Cage! Come on, how did they miss him? He was quite the action hero back in the 90s, plus, he's also batshit crazy! Also, Milan one of the most dangerous places in the world? Are fashionistas really THAT dangerous?

Nic Cage? Ol´Puppy Eyes is horrible miscast in action movies. And yes, I liked Con Air but it would have been so much better with a Stallone, Scharzenegger or "the Rock" in the lead role. And is it just me, or is Sly´s face melting away in the pic above?

Am I the only one who thought Expendables was utter crap. Save for Statham, the movie was boring and was filled with completely uninteresting characters. Yet, I have an idea for the sequel. Do whatever you want as long as no distracting and ridiculous looking cgi blood is used.

the expendable sequelS should focus on each character. part 1 was about stallone. for part 2, i wish they'd focus on Jet Li's character. He has some old issues resurface, and has to go back to China with the rest of the team to fight his evil arch-nemesis: Chow Yun Fat.
