Yen Yearns Expendables 2?

Hong Kong star Donnie Yen has been offered a role in The Expendables 2 says Twitch


The site quotes "Hong Kong newspapers," saying that the actor/martial artist/fight choreographer was offered a "tailor-made" role in the sequel.

Sylvester Stallone Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham are expected to return for the action pic. While Chuck Norris and John Travolta are wanted as well

Plot deets are scarce but claims are that Willis and JCVD are the bad guys this time 'round

Con Air's Simon West, will be replacing Stallone as director while Sly acts in the sequel

Reports say that Jet Li has opted out of the next installment, and no doubt the filmmakers need to keep their cast as box-office friendly in the Asian markets as they can

"A spokesperson from Yen's company confirmed that there was in fact an offer, and went on to say that Yen may be interested in The Expendables, but because he currently has a number of projects to choose from, he will not decide until he sees if the script appeals to him or not," says the site.

Producer David Varod, CEO at Nu Boyana Stuidios says,“I believe the sequel will be better than the first movie."

"The Expendables" sequel will being shooting in Bulgaria in September for an August 17th, 2012 bow
