A few weeks ago news emerged that The Expendables 3 was already in the works and producers were trying to line up the likes of Nicolas Cage, Wesley Snipes and Harrison Ford for the movie. Now Sylvester Stalloned has shared his thoughts on his own personal Facebook page, and has confirmed Nicolas Cage will be taking a major role in the next adventure.
He’s also confirmed that the inclusion of Harrison Ford wasn’t a pipe dream, as he, Wesley Snipes and Mickey Rourke may all be up for the movie. There is no mention of Steven Seagal, who’s also been rumoured for the film, and the previously mentioned Clint Eastwood seems to be out of the running as well.

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 cannot 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. Sly Stallone”

Wreck-It Ralph certainly got a good start this weekend, with the highest opening ever for a non-Pixar Disney animated movie. The film took $49.1 million, just ahead of Tangled’s $48.8 million debut. It’s a great start, helped by the fact it appealed to both boys and girls, and with little to challenge it in the family demographic over the next few weeks, it should have strong legs.
