Gina Carano Signs Up For Lead Role In All-Female Riff On THE EXPENDABLES
The MMA fighter turned actress (who just so happens to be a fan favourite choice for the role of 'Wonder Woman') has reportedly joined the cast of 1984 Private Defense Contractors' planned "all-female riff" on The Expendables. Read on for details!
Following an impressive turn in Haywire earlier this year, Gina Carano joined the cast of The Fast and the Furious 6, further establishing herself as a big screen action star. Well, according to Variety, she looks set to now take on her biggest role yet; the lead in the planned "all-female riff" on The Expendables. Producer Adi Shankar (of 1984 Private Defense Contractors) had this to say about casting the actress. "I don't know how I'm supposed to make a movie that is supposed to be the female version of 'The Expendables' without Gina Carano in it. It would be like making Twix without caramel or Jamba Juice without jamba." He recently co-produced DREDD, Killing Them Softly and viral online hit, The Punisher: Dirty Laundry. Dutch Southern is writing the film.
