Talking to on the set of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Dwayne Johnson was asked whether he would accept a role in the next instalment in Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables franchise. "It all depends," the actor and wrestler cautiously answered. "Yeah, sure. I like Sly. He’s been a buddy for some time. That continues to grow, too and I’m excited about that and I know a lot of guys are. I love the first one and I’m excited about the second one. Sure, if he needs somebody to hunt somebody down, he knows where I’m at." This interview obviously took place before the second movie came out and a third one has now been given the green light (Stallone is currently hard at work on the screenplay). Do you think The Rock would be a good addition to the action ensemble?

Ha! I literally said this in The Rock Star Wars Episode 7 Thread.

He'd be a perfect fit for Expendables 3!

Make it happen Sly!

Don't do it Rock!!! Screw starring in a movie next to people who are on there way out. (looking at you Statham you prick). Keep doing as you have been, and that's gaining the love of the general public. Screw this franchise sir.

I always remember Stallone saying he wanted the Expendables to be 'humerous' as well as an action packed throwback to all the 80's / 90's action.

Well, if Rock is cast and is on the team & not a villian, put him in some scenes / scenarios with Terry Crews & Dolph Lundgren & that will be comedy gold right there, I can just see some witty dialogue going on in scenes between these 3.

@nach1wan - oh yeah for sure.. he'd wipe the floor with Vin Diesel too, but Fast Five didnt go that way. Terry Crews would wipe the floor with Vin too... but its the movies.

Great shout on Carl Weathers, I would love it! But at 65, he'd have to have a small & less demanding role.

And if they put Glover in just to use that line, I'd be all for that. Same goes with Glover though, at 67, the role couldn't be too demanding.

Maybes if they gave them something to do like Mickey Rourke had in the first.

This would be better for him then Star Wars. At least seeing as the movie would be R he could do some cool fights.

Should it really matter how many films an actor has coming out?

If he has time in his schedule & he gets offered a role, he should do it, it's perfect for him. Besides, Expendables 3 won't be out until next year anyways, so that would be Hercules & Expendables 3 that could be two Rock films of 2014.


I'm all for Kurt Russell & Wesley Snipes (DEFINITELT Snipes) for getting roles in this too.

Eastwood, Gibson & Ford, all not so much for me.

Segal, I'm undecided on. Whilst I do indeed like a lot of his films & his Martial Arts, he wasn't somebody I'd go out my way to see at the flicks like an Arnie, Stallone or Willis, but I suppose he'd fit the cast too, but, I also wouldn't miss him if he were there.

DEFINITELY NO NIC CAGE either!!!!!

Liam Neeson, The Rock, Clint Eastwood and I am fine.

Bring Nic Cage on board and this franchise is worth nothing anymore.

it'd be cool if they have a crossover scene or some kind, where the fast/furious team runs across the expendables..i think that'd be enough kicks on that one.
