A couple of different reports here...first up, Sandwich John Films caught up with Antonio Banderas at the Puss In Boots premiere last night, asking the actor if he was offered a role in The Expendables 2. He doesn't entirely rule out appearing, but says that he doesn't have the time to participate for the time being.
They asked me to do it, I don't think at this point I will have the time. I am very disappointed that it didn't work out. But you never know I will have to talk to Sly.
Also, the folks over at
Think McFly Think are reporting that Nicolas Cage and John Travolta - who collaborated on the film
Face/Off and were rumored to reunite for
Expendables 2 - will not be in the film. According to the cite, a deal with Cage couldn't be worked out and Travolta 'didn't go for it'.
If you were hoping to see Nicolas Cage and John Travolta filing rank next to Sly, Jason Statham, Jett Li, Dolph Lundgren & Co, prepare to be disappointed. Despite attempts, sources tell TMT neither Cage nor Travolta will participate thus depriving the world of that Face/Off reunion. A deal for the former couldn't be worked out and word is Travolta "just didn't go for it."
Are there any other actors you want to see join
The Expendables 2? Share your thoughts below in the usual place.
The Expendables 2 hits theaters August 17th, 2012.
