According to Randy Couture via TWITTER http://***********/#%21/Randy_Couture (update from July 22) Expendables 2 will begin filming September 20, 2011, presumably in Bulgaria which has been mentioned as the prime filming location with I'm sure a few other short visits to other locations. Expendables 2 sees the return of Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Randy Couture and Dolph Lundgren to the cast thus far and welcomes new arrivals Jean-Claude Van Damme and Tom Sizemore as villains. Simon West (The Mechanic) will takeover from Stallone as director. Expendables 2 hits theaters August 17, 2012!!!

A star-packed movie featuring Bruce Willlis, Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, John Travolta, Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme among others is to be shot in Bulgaria, Bulgaria-based NU Boyana studios CEO David Varod has confirmed. He talks about the much-anticipated sequel to "The Expendables", as well as other exciting prospects, in an exclusive interview for Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency).
Some very big names have been mentioned recently as very likely to shoot in Bulgaria soon, the likes of Bruce Willis and Silvester Stallone. Is there any development on that?
Yes, we are definitely going to do that project. It is going to be a sequel the "The Expendables". The shooting is going to take place the second week of September. The movie is on, definitely. It will be a very good thing for Bulgaria, since there are some very big stars coming.
Would you disclose some of the names coming for sure?
Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, John Travolta, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke...who else? Of course, Bruce Willis. The director is Simon West, who is also a name. He is already here and has started working on the film. I believe the sequel will be better than the first movie.

Awesome.

 

[dude stannis]

Sizemore as Willis' right hand man would be pretty bad ass. But of course, who would he go up against on Barneys team that's even an equal match? lol.

Team Willis;

Bruno
Jean Claude Van Damme
Vin Diesel
Scott Adkins
Michael Jai White
Steve Austin (Either as his twin, or in Freddy Krueger make up)

Team Schwarzenegger;

Arnie
The Rock
Michelle Rodriguez
Steven Seagal
Wesley Snipes
Cung Le

Chuck Norris as the President of the United States.

 

[Punisher Rising]

I wonder when other sources will confirm all of the cast members?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Team Willis;

Bruno
Jean Claude Van Damme
Vin Diesel
Scott Adkins
Michael Jai White
Steve Austin (Either as his twin, or in Freddy Krueger make up)

Team Schwarzenegger;

Arnie
The Rock
Michelle Rodriguez
Steven Seagal
Wesley Snipes
Cung Le

Chuck Norris as the President of the United States.

Too bad that Snipes will still be in prison by the time this film is shot. The Rock won't be in this movie either, because it'll probably shoot the same time as GI Joe 2.

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah Im still disappointed that Snipes cant get in on this action

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Chuck norris just made this film 100 times better than the first and I love the first film.

 

[Dr. Evil]

He probably would have been in the first one (playing the Terry Crews role) had he paid his taxes.

I think this film is forgetting one person:

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah he was going to be Hale Caesar

Carl Weathers would be cool too

 

[gohei_]

Shouldn't Mr Beihn (sp) be in this one? Surely he his just as badass as the rest of the cast, killing both cyborgs and aliens.

 

[Donut]

If you mean Sean Bean he would just die in the first five minutes

If you mean Sean Bean he would just die in the first five minutes

Haha t:

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

How can we have some such an awesome 80's ensemble without Action Jackson?

 

[ChickenScratch]

Michale Dudikoff and David Bradley (both American Ninja) need to be in this, as well as Scott Adkins.

 

[LostSon88]

I still don't understand why people are clamoring for Chuck Norris to be in this.

Granted he was a big action star in the 80s as well but, its come to a point now where he's considered a joke.

If I were to see him in part 2, I just wouldn't be able to take him seriously.

 

[TX85]

I'd love for Carl Weathers to be in this and have a scene where he&Arnold shake hands/flex muscles then Stallone walks in and has an intense stare-down with Carl!!

 

[Dr. Evil]

I'd love for Carl Weathers to be in this and have a scene where he&Arnold shake hands/flex muscles then Stallone walks in and has an intense stare-down with Carl!!

Which will lead to both of them shirtless, running on a beach while Eye of the Tiger is being played.

 

[TX85]

Yeah I know your being sarcastic But I'd just like subtle references to past movies&characters by these guys,No need to even consider making some stuff too obvious like a beach scene!!

Any chance Eastwood would even consider doing a cameo?,Make him Stallone's mentor and give hi ma scene giving Stallone's team advise or something!

I see what you are saying, but Chuck does hold a special place for some people. I grew up in karate and Chuck was one of the American pioneers of Tang Su Do and really did a lot for the arts as well as being a pretty great tournament fighter and fielding a pretty devastating team in the 70's. Dude, I met him at a tournament when I was 12 and he taught a workshop, it was one of the coolest experiences of my life.

So I always vote yes for Chuck.

 

[dude stannis]

The Rock is shooting G.I. Joe 2 right now, TE2 starts filming midway September.

Besides, Team Arnold should be saved for Part 3.

 

[Hotwire]

Missing Mark Dascascos...

Only if he plays a chef. Hehe.

 

[dude stannis]

Hahha! The third act action scene is half an hour of Dacascos and Seagal in a cook off! Dacascos wins because Seagal eats all his ingredients.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Wtf? No Danny Trejo? This movie needs gotdamn Machete!.

 

[Dave McFly]

I'd love for Carl Weathers to be in this and have a scene where he&Arnold shake hands/flex muscles then Stallone walks in and has an intense stare-down with Carl!!

"you son of a *****!"

 

[BizarroAids]

This movie needs some Rick Rossovich.
