Stallone Wants Bruce Willis to Go Villain for The Expendables 2

A sequel to Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables has yet to be given an official greenlight, but that hasn't stopped Stallone from discussing his plans for a sequel. Days before The Expendables opened, Stallone told The LA Times that he already had an idea for a sequel.

I have an idea ready to go. People think doing a sequel is easy, but it's not because you need the element of surprise. I'm going to try to do something that's quite radical.

With The Expendables now verified as a hit after exploding at the box office on its opening weekend, Stallone is using his Twitter account to discuss sequel plans.

Sylvester Stallone Turns into "Sly-enstein" in The Expendables Behind-the-Scenes Featurette

Writer-director Sylvester Stallone admitted in January that he suffered a fractured neck while shooting the upcoming The Expendables, even offering up x-rays as proof to those who thought Stallone was inventing the injury. Stallone recently spoke to Extra about the fight scene with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and how the result gave the Italian Stallion a new nickname.

About 95 per cent of the stunts my character performs in the movie is me. We had one accident and afterwards the instructor said if it happened again I could have been left quadriplegic. My neck has now been rebuilt. I’ve got cadaver bones in there, steel bolts, you name it. I’m like Slyenstein.

August 13 marks an unusual struggle between two movies at the cinematic box office. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and The Expendables will vie for box office dominance. In the first corner, Jason Statham, Jet Li, and Dolph Lundgren are a few of the cavalcade of stars that will pound their way through Sylvester Stallone's 80s-style action homage that is The Expendables. And in corner two, comic book adaptation, Scott Pilgrim, has Michael Cera fighting seven "evil" boyfriends to win the heart of Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Round One saw Scott Pilgrim smack down The Expendables in the battle of the promotional posters. Round Two focuses on the latest crop of promotional material for both movies.
