Stallone casting for Expendables 2. Any suggestions?


Our favorite action stars shooting and blowing up things only deserves a sequel. The first "Expendables" had it's key stars: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke and Dolph Lundgren.

According to this story, some other fan suggestions would be:

The Rock: WWE, The Rundown and various other films. I agree. I almost want to say he's required.

Michael Jai White: Undisputed II, Universal Soldier: The Return, Spawn. Personally I think he should've been in Predators, but hey, can't complain. Also a great choice.

Scott Adkins: Undisputed II and III. I'd be interested in seeing him as a good guy because he's a perfect bad guy.

I'd also like to recommend Sean Scott Williams: Bullet Proof Monk, American Pie 1-3, The Rundown. The guy is pretty ripped and would be great for comic relief.

John Cena: WWE, The Marine. I'm up for that. But you know who I think would be dangerous? Brock Lesnar. There is no way Brock could play the loving father who loses his family and goes on a rampage beating up bad guys. Brock doesn't seem like the guy that would have that much compassion. But you know who could? Vin Diesel. And he did play that role.

So here we have The Rock, Michael Jai White, Scott Adkins, Sean Scott Williams, John Cena and Vin Diesel. Bring back Stallone and/or Statham for a cameo and the only thing missing is a female. Equal rights, right?

After her stellar performance in Kick-Ass as HitGirl, I would suggest Chloe Moretz. Unfortunately she's 13. Expendable at 13? Well, she could play the daughter of one of the characters?

Ziyi Zhang: House of Flying Daggers, Hero, Rush Hour 2, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I think she would be great for this. But so could Kelly Hu, Michelle Yeoh or Lucy Liu. Gina Carano could possibly have some acting chops to go along with her MMA ability and her stint on American Gladiators.

Any way you put it, there are still enough action stars out there waiting in the wings for a chance like this. Who would you suggest?

Great Up and coming actor by the name of Desmond Campbell. He has acted along side of Hollywoods biggest stars and held supporting roles in a myriad of blockbuster movies! Please take a look at his bio on IMDB.com.
