Ex-Factors

Sylvester Stallone is adding more action stars roles in The Expendables 2 and confirmed a few more attached names to EW

Might Nic & Jon Reunite For Ex 2 After 1997's  Face/Off?

Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger will indeed have larger roles for sure Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham are due to return with

Stallone also confirms that Chuck Norris and JCVD are locked- “We’ll have a big showdown between me and Van Damme, which has been anticipated for a long time, so it should be a good one" he says.

There'll be some new blood in the form of "a Navy Seal-type, because with the Expendables none of them have 20-20 vision anymore. They need some help, man.”

Long thought of Nicolas Cage and John Travolta could be showing up - "We’ve got Chuck Norris and I think Nic Cage. We’re trying to work out different scenarios. I like using people that had a moment and then maybe have fallen on some hard times and give them another shot. So we’re always looking for actors like like Michael Biehn and Michael Pare.. I like those kinds of guys."

As for Travolta's involvement? "It’s possible. The one thing I’ve learned is what is a fact on Monday is a complete fallacy on Tuesday. A lot of it is scheduling. It’s not financial. It’s just that Bulgaria is definitely a jaunt. It’s a commitment, you know what I mean? Especially in the dead of winter.”

The likes of Donnie Yen Taylor Lautner, Christian Slater, Christopher Lambert have all been mentioned to join the sequel

Con Air's Simon West, will be replacing Stallone as director while Sly acts in the sequel. Plot deets are scarce but claims are that Willis and JCVD are the bad guys this time 'round which seems likely now given Sly's mention of a JCVD showdown

Stallone heads to Bulgaria at the end of this month to start shooting.
