It has been too long since we’ve had any THE EXPENDABLES 2 news, okay well 10 days isn’t that long but in my book when it comes to this film it is! I’ve got a few bits and pieces to help tide us over for now, and some news that has been confirmed that we’ve been wondering about.
The lovely Charisma Carpenter had a supporting role in the first film and we’ve been wondering whether or not she would be back, it seemed only logical that she would but we heard nothing. The lady confirmed through her official twitter account that she is in fact returning for the film and she had to keep it a secret for while! “I HATED keeping this from all my faithful Frans but.. I was told to. …..Its true; I will be in Expendables 2!!!!!!!”
She also confirmed that she will begin shooting today and she will be with the whole gang. It is possible she will be involved in the Hong Kong leg of the shoot, as the powers that be were not able to get permits to shoot in mainland China, so that has been moved. The film is shooting in New Orleans this week as confirmed by Randy Couture on his official twitter. He also added a picture of himself on the set, which you can check out below.
And lastly a couple of new pictures have shown up of Stallone and Nan, and these are two pretty badass looking shots! You can check those out below, along with the included synopsis!
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…
