Sly wants ‘Expendables’ woman
Sylvester Stallone wants to cast a "funny, tough" woman in The Expendables 3.
He revealed in a series of Twitter posts that he is currently writing the third instalment of the action franchise, and is looking for a "young woman who is not a sex symbol but funny ,tough,REAL (sic)".
Although the action film boasts stars such as Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Liam Hemsworth, Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li – Stallone is hoping to bring in a string of new cast members, with veteran martial arts movie star Jackie Chan at the top of his wish-list.
However, one star who won’t be cast is Steven Seagal.
Stallone tweeted: "Writing EX3 at the moment…
"EX3 needs NEW blood and more humor
"No S. Seagal, sorry ,but maybe we get lucky with J. Chan! And some young bloods!!!
"By young I mean 22 to 27. Not big bruisers but tech wizard, super brains and a young woman who is not a sex symbol but funny ,tough,REAL (sic)"
And the Rocky star – who has seen the first two Expendables movies gross $274-million and $312-million worldwide respectively – has promised the film will have plenty of humour.
He also tweeted: "there are going to be mountains of surprises.
"The films were always meant to be more on the humorous side with moments of drama (sic)"
