With Lionsgate's
The Expendables 2 being another box office success, work is moving forward on a third installment in the series which teams up various action stars from the past and present. It was recently reported that Nicolas Cage, Harrison Ford and Wesley Snipes were all being sought to join the threequel, with Clint Eastwood saying that he probably won't be in it. Afterwards, it was rumored that Cage was confirmed to be in the film, but then it was reported that Sylvester Stallone "had no knowledge" of the
Ghost Rider star joining the cast of
The Expendables 3. Now, we have one actor confirmed to be signed on: Jackie Chan.
At a press conference promoting his new movie
CZ12, Chan confirmed that he will be in the next
Expendables movie after being offered a role by Stallone.
"Sly had invited me to be in "Expendables 2" but I was too busy filming "CZ12" and couldn't make a commitment to the film. But he did extend his invitation to the third movie, which I agreed on the condition that I will be appearing as more than just a minor role with a few scenes," he said. He also told Stallone that he hoped the threequel would "run along the lines of a 'buddy-buddy' movie if he's in it, to which Sly obliged.
The Expendables 3's script is currently in the works. To see what Chan has to say about some of his other upcoming projects, including
