I'd rather see an all-female spinoff with female action stars. Wasn't there one called The Expendabelles planned?

There was, then someone else beat them to the punch with a discount bin version under a similar-enough-name-to-get-attention-without-being-sued-for-copyright, and was made, released, and forgotten.

More of Jason Statham's horrific New Yockney accent no thanks.

That's too bad. Something starring the likes of Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton, Bridgette Nielsen, Michelle Yeoh, and Famke Janssen could been really cool.

When they first started talking about possibly doing an ExpendaBelles movie, my best friend and I started fan-casting who we'd pick if we were in charge of the movie. Weaver, Yeoh, and Hamilton were on our list! We also had Geena Davis (Cutthroat Island), Danai Gurira (Black Panther), Ming-Na Wen (Agents of Shield), Milla Jovovich (Fifth Element), Gina Torres (Firefly), Nia Peeples (Walker TX Ranger), and Rachel Luttrell (Stargate Atlantis).

I guess Gunpowder Milkshake and The 355 are the closest weโll get to a competently made film like that.

They should have a narration of Statham's character much like Ralphie. It would be dumb but hilarious and self-aware.

I'd like to see Tony Jaa as the villain.

As long as Sly steps away from the helm, then this might turn out interesting. But with Sly calling the shots... it's probably just going to be direct to dvd quality. Hate to say it but the guy is still stuck in the 80's and 90's, using the same formula that nobody likes seeing anymore. Jason Statham and Tony Jaa deserve better.

If we're going with the mold of the original Expendables, then you want the big action heroines of older days with maybe a few younger known action stars to spice things up. Some of those you mentioned like Gina Torres and Rachel Luttrell don't seem to be big enough names to catch the nostalgia factors. Summer Glau would probably bring in more fans than Gina Torres. Linda Hamilton, Michelle Yeoh, Ming Na Wen, Milla Jovovich and Sigourney Weaver are definitely in. You can add in names like Lucy Lawless, Brigitte Nielsen, Lucy Liu, Sandahl Bergman, Kristanna Loken and Cynthia Rothrock. From the younger generation, Danai Gurira is not bad but I'd probably go first with names like Michelle Rodriguez, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Charlize Theron, Kelly Hu, Kate Beckinsale, Gina Carano, Maggie Q and Jennifer Garner. They just have a bit more name recognition in action roles.

They just have a bit more name recognition in action roles. I agree, have 2-3 generations of actresses in the roles. I'd totally go for Glau, but I don't think she does action roles anymore. She seems like she's strictly Hallmark Christmas movies, these days (Along with 'Kaylee' from FIREFLY), I just figured Gina T. cause she still does action-y stuff from time to time, plus I think she'd be cool as someone like the Lee Christmas character, where she's younger than the main dude but still old enough that you'd buy they have 20 or more years of history. As far as Rachel Luttrell, I figured there'd be enough Stargate fans out there to get some buts in the seats, but I could be wrong. Dude, if they had Lucy Lawless, I wouldn't even care who the rest of the cast was, I would be there (I'd even put up with Sarah Michelle Geller & Gina Carano, for Lucy L), and wow, how could I forget Hu, Beckinsale, Q, Garner, and Theron? There are so many women who've done well in action movies, it's a crying shame they don't get more EXPENDABLES-esque stuff going for them. PEPPERMINT proved fans will still come out for Garner in a gritty, action role. Fans still want Beckinsale to come back for more UNDERWORLD. I know Loken and loved her, Neilson I never bought her in any action role- but maybe she's gotten more believable with age, the other two I'd have to look up cause I have no idea who they are. I'd stick with Guirira, if only cause she is so kick-arse and fans love her. And I'd love if they got Michelle R. in with Theron, Hu, Beckinsale, Q, Garner, and the others I had mentioned. They don't ALL have to be in the first movie, they could have some of them be more like Harrison Ford and Chuck Norris were, where they had bigger cameo appearances for one movie (although, to be honest, if they brought Harrison Ford back again in E4, they'd get no complaints from me)
