The Expendables 2
(2012)

in post-production

Watch the teaser trailer!


plot summary

The Expendables are back and this time it's personal...

Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Lee Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time -- six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother.

That is done the Expendables way.... (from the official site)

interesting facts
 

- In 2008, writers Ken Kaufman and David Agosto had sold an action-comedy pitch to MGM (for $1 million) entitled 'Wardogs', pitched as "an action ensemble comedy in the vein of 'Ocean's Eleven,' where the casting becomes an event." It's very likely that TE2 will be a rewrite of this project. Then Richard Wenk was brought in and Sylvester Stallone ultimately rewrote the script.

- Sequel cast additions are Jean-Clade Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Scott Adkins, Liam Hensworth, plus more substancial parts for Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger
