Ever since The Expendables made nearly $275 million at the international box office, fans have been curious as to how the 80s throwback action film would get even bigger for the sequel. It's been established that much of the cast will be returning - including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, and Randy Couture - but who will be joining them? Some big names have come up in conversation, but now it looks like two of them may be set. IGN has discovered a page on the Millennium Films website that seems to suggest that Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris have officially joined the cast of The Expendables 2. CEO of Nu Boyana studios David Varod recently confirmed in an interview that the two actors had signed on, but a third actor he mentioned, John Travolta, is not listed on the page.

Earlier this year we learned that Sylvester Stallone would not direct the follow-up to his '80s action throwback The Expendables, and that Simon West (Con Air, The Mechanic) would be his replacement. Stallone will still be starring in the film, of course, but for the most part all of the current rumours and speculation seem to be focused on the multitude of other veteran action stars that may or may not be added for the sequel. Last month we heard that both Chuck Norris and John Travolta were possibilities, and Jean-Claude Van Damme is also believed to be in talks to play a villain in the film. So now with this added star power, the question is, just how expendable is the original cast of The Expendables? Would you be disappointed to learn that Jet Li might not be returning for part two? Back in July, producer David Varod...

With director Simon West's Expendables 2 ready to shoot, you'd think we'd hear something about casting right about now. Aside from the assumed surviving original cast of Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, Jet Li and possibly Bruce Wills -- rumor has it that John Travolta, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme will join in the fun for the sequel to the gun and muscle expo that was The Expendables!
According to an interview with the CEO of the “biggest film studio” in the country the film will shoot, Bulgaria, the four actors will join the ranks of the already action-packed cast. The names come directly from David Varod, the CEO of the Bulgarian based film company Nu Boyana who managed an interview with Novinite (via Collider) about the films that will be shooting in the country -- and naturally, Stallone's all-star ensemble came to mind,...

I'll be honest: I loves me a good ol' fashioned, dick-swingin', big-gun shootin', dumb as a box of bullets action flick. It's the guiltiest of guilty pleasures, but it's hard to be a guy raised in the 80's -- the true heyday of mindless testoserone-fest films -- and not have some nostalgia for that type of entertainment. Which is why I was so excited about The Expendables (which ultimately wasn't as great as I'd hoped, but still somewhat fun), and why I'm still strangely attached to the Die Hard franchise (the most recent of which was so terrible, yet strangely watchable).
It was inevitable, of course, that the two franchises continue. The Expendables 2 (directed by Simon West) is actually filming right now in Bulgaria, and rumor has it that some more old-school badasses are making their way over there to join the fun. The rumor comes from David Varod,...

(from left) John Moore, Joe Cornish, Justin Lin and Nicolas Winding Refn It seems there is already more to the Die Hard 5 director story than I reported this morning as John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines, Max Payne) is one of four names on Fox's shortlist to direct the feature now that Noam Murro has moved on to direct 300: Battle of Artemisia for Warner Bros. Along with Moore, Attack the Block helmer Joe Cornish, Justin Lin (Fast Five) and Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) will meet to potentially helm the film scripted by Skip Woods. For some more details on the film and its plot, check out my previous report right here. [Deadline]

With shooting set to start in September, expect lots of casting news about Sylvester Stallone’s follow-up to his testosterone-laden action flick The Expendables in the next few weeks. The first salvo has already been fired, thanks to David Varod, the CEO of Nu Boyana studios – and the names on the list should have any action fan giddy with anticipation. According to Varod, all of the following talents are involved with project: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, John Travolta, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis. Should this pan out to be true (and we’re taking this story with a golfball-sized grain of salt until we get some official confirmation…) it seems like The Expendables 2 could...

The revolving door of '70s and '80s action icons appears to have no end for the kick-ass crew of "The Expendables." Lionsgate has made no official casting announcements about the sequel, but the CEO at the Bulgarian studio where the movie is expected to film certainly has. Speaking to Bulgarian news site Novinite.com, David Varod, CEO at Nu Boyana Studios, revealed that John Travolta, Jean Claude van Damme and Chuck Norris would be joining returning stars Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham and Bruce Willis. Simon West ("Con-Air," "Tomb Raider") is on board to direct, replacing Stallone...

It should be said that the rumored action stars lining up for "The Expendables 2" are anything but expendable.
The original cast already had one hell of a line-up, including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li, but now some new names are potentially joining the team. David Varod, the CEO of Bulgarian film company Nu Boyana, reportedly told Novinite in an interview that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis are both coming back for the sequel, and added several other names to the mix as well.
Like who, exactly? Do the names John Travolta, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris get your excitement level up to 11? Those are the guys coming aboard the "Expendables" sequel, according to the interview, though there's been no official announcement confirming their involvement yet.
"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,...

While we speculate as to which semi-retired 80's action stars will be joining The Expendables 2 (which begins principal photography in September in Bulgaria), CEO of Nu Boyana Studios, David Varod, spoke to Novinite and revealed two new casting tidbits. When asked who'll be returning to the set in September, he replies, "Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, John Travolta, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren and Mickey Rourke". Now, while some of the names could be solid, I'm pretty sure Schwarzenegger won't be back for the sequel. With his embarrassing public divorce and sex scandal, his agents have said he won't be back in cinemas until the release of his next flick, The Last Stand, in 2013. It's also suggested that Chuck Norris will be playing a villain along with Bruce Willis. Could The Expendables 2 be the wackiest film of the decade?...

The Expendables 2 is adding two more big names to its star studded line-up, with the arrival of Chuck Norris and John Travolta.
Travolta and Norris are confirmed to join the A-list ranks of Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham and Jean Claude Van Damme.
Another new addition to the film is Con Air's Simon West, who will be replacing Stallone as director while Sly takes a back seat to star in the sequel.
With high hopes that this follow-up will pack more wallop than its predecessor, producer David Varod, CEO at Nu Boyana Studios, told news website Novanite: “I believe the sequel will be better than the first movie."
At this stage details are thin on the ground but it is believed that Van Damme and Willis will play the villains of the piece.

The Expendables 2 is set to start shooting in Bulgaria in September, and though Con Air director Simon West is set to take over the helming duties from Sylvester Stallone (who, don't worry, will still return to star), we're not sure what other giant action names will be added to the cast this time around. If you believe the CEO of Nu Boyana studios David Varod, though, he's got all the juicy details as the production prepares to take over his facilities in Sofia, Bulgaria. And just like with the first film, there's a laundry list of huge names apparently ready to rip some throats and take the bullets in the name of middle-aged badassery. Here's what Varod told Novinite, the "Sofia News Agency," about the plans for the new movie: Would you disclose some of the names coming for sure?

If someone can come up with a new Chuck Norris Fact for this I have a way to reward you most handsomely. Not just the proverbial pat on the back either.

The sequel to The Expendables currently has a release date of August 2012, and with that in mind, Sylvester Stallone will be getting his gang of action beefcakes together for production shortly.
But who will the new recruits be, joining the likes of Stallone, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham and Mickey Rourke?
Well, according to Novinte.com, we can first of all expect Jean-Claude Van Damme to be lining up for the film, as had been expected. Joining him also looks to be Chuck Norris.
And the third new name? Er, that’d be John Travolta, a surprising choice, whose name hadn’t been linked with the project before.
We’ve no problem with Travolta as an action star, and if there’s a dance sequence in the movie,...

Back in June we learned that Con-Air director Simon West would be at the helm of The Expendables 2 which is aiming for an August 17th, 2012 release, but aside from the assumption that surviving cast members from the first film would return, we've yet to hear information on any new cast members. However, Novinite (via Collider) recently spoke with David Varod, CEO of the Bulgarian film company Nu Boyana, who talked about some films shooting in the country, including the action sequel. In the interview, Varod mentioned John Travolta, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme as part of the cast. When asked about some big names coming to Bulgaria, the CEO confirmed The Expendables sequel would be shooting in the country in the second week of September and rambled off Norris, Van Damme and Travolta along with returning cast members Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke.

Sadly the most exciting aspect of The Expendables franchise, well at least we can say it was with the first movie anyway, is the casting process. We ate up every minute of Sylvester Stallone’s original recruitment for his homage to 80′s Canon Home video fare but alas the movie we had in our heads for what a Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eric Roberts, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bruce Willis film might look like, well he couldn’t match it. Maybe it was just something he would never be able to live-up too.

With director Simon West preparing to shoot The Expendables 2 soon aiming at an August 17, 2012 release [1], it's high-time we heard something about his cast. We expect that surviving members of the original - Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, Jet Li and possibly Bruce Wills - could all return but, according to an interview with the CEO of the "biggest film studio" in the country the film will shoot, Bulgaria, joining the cast are John Travolta, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Have our muscle-throbbing, old-man action-star dreams come true? We explore the rumor after the jump.

David Varod, CEO of Nu Boyana, a studio in Bulgaria where the film is going to shoot most of at, revealed the cast listing for the sequel, and included a few new names that should get action fans all sorts of freakin’ excited.
Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, John Travolta, Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Eric Roberts and Bruce Willis.
Most of these, we knew about. We knew Jcvd would be in it, as well as most of the cast from the first film. But John Travolta, Eric Roberts (the villain form the first), Arnold (but in what compacity?), and Chuck Norris? Awesome, even if Lionsgate hasn’t outright confirmed this.
The Expendables are back and this time it’s personal!

Now, I haven’t heard solid information regarding John Travolta and Chuck Norris’ involvement in “The Expendables 2″, but according to Nu Boyana studios CEO David Varod, they’re very much a part of the project. Nu Boyana, by the way, is based in Bulgaria, where the flick is set to be filmed.
