After a day of passionate political debate with
his Twitter followers,
Sylvester Stallone is back talking about our preferred subject: the
sequel to
The Expendables. “Good day to say that the new
story line for next Expendables is taking shape — many twists that
i’ve yet to figure out yet —
JCVD possibility!” he
tweeted early this morning. Really, what better way for Jean-Claude
Van Damme to prove his ticker is fine than by joining this muscle
parade. Stallone appears hopeful: “How bout JCVD being the baddest
of the bad? Painful and fun choice for the one who gets to do
battle with him..,” he tweeted. When a fan joked that Ryan Seacrest
should join the cast, Stallone responded, “Over that,” but said his
buddy Charlie Sheen would be a strong choice — and that he almost
had him in the first film, but his wife “birthed.” (Did we know
Stallone and Sheen were friends?
On Nov. 1, Stallone
tweeted that he spent Halloween on a double-date with Bruce Willis,
then he stopped by Sheen’s place and talked awhile before heading
home. “Charlie looks absolutely like you see him on TV … Maybe
better,” Stallone reported.) If Sheen is healthy, I’d
enjoy seeing him trade barbs with Stallone, Jason Statham, and
fingers crossed, Bruce Willis. Stallone definitely has casting on
the brain:
“The Rock could eventually replace me after
having been drafted into the EXPENDABLES Along with new young
blood. Suggestions?” I’m all for Dwayne Johnson being the
heir apparent — he’s got the body and the charisma. (And seriously,
how great would they look together?) Other suggestions offered by
fans:
• Michael Jai White: Stallone said he tried to get the
Spawn,
Universal Soldier: The Return, and
Exit Wounds star for the first film, but he didn’t want to
audition.
• Scott Adkins: Stallone said he tried to get White’s
Undisputed II: Last Man Standing costar to play The Brit
in the first film, but when it didn’t work out, he replaced him
with Gary Daniels.
• A female: Stallone said, “But would you really buy it or see it
only as a gimmick?”
• No one: After a 24-year-old fan suggested no young blood could
hold a candle to Stallone’s crew, he said, “It’s not easy to find
new bad asses that can act, but I believe the younger audiences
want to be represented, right?”
• Randy Orton and John Cena: Stallone’s response to the WWE
wrestlers: “POWERFUL WARRIORS, I agree.”
While Stallone works out and digests the input — his tweeted plans
for this morning — what do you think? What younger badasses can act
well enough to become a member of The Expendables?
