NICxiting news! Let`s cross fingers, that this will happen with him! He would def inject his special Cageiness (his own, nuveau shamaNIC-fantastNIC style) in it, that would make this third part very, very special! Thanks, Lady T., for posting it!

Wow wonderful find Lady Trueheart thank you. I suppose I might have to reserve judgement until I see the Expendables sequel myself.

In this article, Avi Lerner also confirmes, that Nic will join the cast in the third part:

Thanks for sharing your opinion Lady T. I have to wait since I simply lost all my trust for the first movie. There is no words of a Chinese date for The Expendables 2 yet. Ah no kidding he just has such a.. I'd like to call it ''superpower''. I admit that I haven't seen any movie Nic h as acted in that he didn't do awesome in, but will be fussy as always if Nic has a role in the 3rd Expendables movie project.

I'm interested in this one becouse I think it's the first movie where Nic jumped in before playing in earlier movies right?:)

Hi all!

yes, this is certainly intriguing news!

For those interested we had quite a discussion about Nic's possible appearance in the second film here apologies if I repeat some of my earlier thoughts on the films.

To exclude Nicolas Cage from a list of action greats is a travesty, as an action LEGEND (Con Air, The Rock, Face/Off and so many more) he more than deserves a role in any film honouring action! not that he is AN action star, rather an actor with unmatchable versatility, action being one of the many strings to his bow, each delivered with equal talent (unlike any other!) so it is awesome news he has been asked!

Also the prospect of Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood, Wesley Snipes as well as Nic certainly raises the excitement levels an elevates, in my opnion, the calibre of actor. But ..for me the first film (yet to see second) fell somewhat short of either an epic action film or a homage to action genre and the greats who brought that genre to life, so I hope that a third does not result in some kind of almost action farce. This seems unliely though with Nic on board, even in a cameo it would raise the bar and the coolness factor considerably and hopefully with a sprinkle of that mageic Cage dust this could be a very shiny film indeed!

So........................ bring it on I say, I can feel the adrenalin pumping aready!

Oh yes, Jackie Chan absolutely needs to be invite to join the cast! Maybe there is a way Bruce Lee coud join the cast, having seen Freddie Mercury resurrected in a clever way on big screesns incorprorated into a perfomance at the Olympics closing ceremony, maybe they could do something like that, it would be very cool.

Has Mickey Rourke been invited? there have been several rumours over the years of NIc and he working together again at some point, that is something i would love to see too! 

He should consider himself very lucky to get a chance to be in a movie with any of those guys! Ah, yes, Sean Connery, what a picture that would make!

Lol, those were my thoughts too Lady T, Statham is a great actor and I have enjoyed the films I have seen with him in (particularly Revolver, 13 and the Crank films) But it is a different league from the legends who have been in the biz for decades!!

Let's keep our fingers crossed for it to happen Flo!
