Sylvester Stallone Confirms Nicolas Cage On Board For ‘The Expendables 3’

I’m pretty sure all of us over at Geekscape are fans of the action packed The Expendables films. Well, minus one person who I shall not name. The movies bring together some of the best actors in the action genre and offer a tongue in cheek nod to the genre which ruled the box office of many of our childhood and teenage years.

A short while ago it was rumored that Nicolas Cage, Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford were all on Sylvester Stallone’s radar to be a part of the third outing for The Expendables. Well, today on Facebook, Stallone issued the following statement about the planned third installment, confirming that work is moving ahead on the sequel, a reply to the critics of the films and also confirming one of the new names involved.

We are preparing the film with the same passion and commitment as the previous two. We have confirmed Nicolas Cage, a master actor who gives a veneer intellectual group. Hopefully we can realize to Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes and Mickey Rourke. That is the great mission of the producer. We will continue with the same narrative scheme, the agility and the frenzy, which are inherent to the saga. What will definitely be the last? I can not guarantee. In principle it would be two deliveries, but the affection of the people encouraged us to work on a third. I guess as long as we amused ourselves by offering fun and people, we can continue playing ‘The Expendables’. For now we are not as expendable as it should and as some critics want.

Are you ready for another action-packed outing for Barney Ross and his team? I know that I definitely am.
