The Expendables 3
- Thread starter Mason
- Start date
Banderas is a great addition. I'd love to see Gibson heading up a team of bad guys, like a rival group of Expendables, with Banderas and Snipes also as bad guys on his team.
One of the heads at Lionsgate also said not to be too sure of Willis being out. He said the cast will continue to change, and nothing is 100% confirmed until the film starts shooting. Which may or may not be next week. So even if we don't hear Seagals name attached it might work out that he comes on board toward the end of the shoot. We'll see.
I would guess that some of the more cameo sort of parts will be filmed at the end of the shoot. If Seagal is on board I think it'll be a cameo more or less.

EX3 Production Update:
The EX3 Production will be signing the official contract with the authorities of Varna, Bulgaria on Monday for the filming of EX3. Action scenes with boats involved will start shooting on Aug 20 for 2 days at the port. Filming will continue in Varna until Aug 30 after which production will move to other parts of Bulgaria. The actors expected to be part of the first action scenes are Stallone, Schwarzenegger & Statham, no info on other actors is yet available.
The actions seem to be taken place in Somalia as the local casting agency in Bulgaria is desperately looking for 40 actors of African descent to play Somalian policemen. Are we getting a taste of EX1 with Somalian pirates Again?

Very interesting indeed. Dolph is due to arrive in Bulgaria next week so I assume he'll be in this action sequence, and you'd guess the other regulars will too. It'll be interesting to see which of the new additions appear.

Banderas' Role
Banderas is the latest addition to the EX3 cast. Being from Spain the spanish media reacted rapidly to the news and is suggesting that Banderas has been called to replace Willis! A couple of Bulgarian outlets have also reported that Banderas will not start filming before the 2nd half of September.
It is clear that Banderas will not play Church but instead of deleting Willis' scenes, it's a possibility that Stallone have Banderas take over the scenes with some minor rewriting. If Banderas is replacing Willis, then he will have a minor role as Willis was supposed to (Willis was going to film for 4 days only). Banderas as a secret service agent in EX3?

Carpenter in EX3?
We have no reliable source but apparently Carpenter told a news reporter at the Paris Comic-Con in July that she was going to be in EX3. Here's a speculation on my part: Statham gets married to her in EX3 and does not follow the Expendables in their final mission so he can go and play the villain in F&F7!

So could this be the final confirmed cast? No mention of SS, Chan or Jovovich. Jovovich has mentioned another film she's getting ready for at the moment. Shes not really made direct quotes on Exp 3 as yet, so perhaps that part was speculation. Or perhaps this is the current confirmed cast. I think they'll add more near the end of the shoot. Hopefully including SS.
Quote from Boaz Davidson on his FB page:
"7 Days To Kick Off
THE EXPENDABLES 3
Stallone,Statham,Ford,Gibson,
Lundgren,Snipes,Li,Couture,
Banderas,Rousey,Crews,
Schwarzenegger,Ortiz,Lutz.
The earth will rumble!!!"

So yeah, it seems unlikely Jovovich is in Exp 3. She's shooting Cymberline in New York on August 19th. Of course she could fly out once she's wrapped that for a cameo, but I doubt she'll appear in anything more than a cameo now. This is straight from her own mouth too.
I'm really glad that Harrison has directly confirmed his involvement in this film too. Awesome.

Jet Li hasn't been mentioned by any sources working on the film, so it's unlikely he'll show up. At least Sly has mentioned that he contacted Seagal and Chan, and that Chan is on board. The Bulgarian news papers has said two times that Seagal would arrive in Bulgaria when they start filming. But then again they are some times wrong, so we'll see what happens.
Thats right, they'll add all the action stars when they start shooting. The whole cast hasn't been officialy confirmed yet.

Glen Powell is a Young Blood in EX3!
Glen Powell has been cast in a lead role in EX3. The 24-year-old will play a highly trained combat veteran who is also an expert hacker and drone pilot.
Powell's recent acting credits include The Dark Knight Rises and upcoming drama Red Wing.
He's one of the 5 young bloods Stallone hinted at and most likely one of the young techy Expendables! We'll report further on his role as we gather more information.

The Chan, Cage, Jovovich Confusion
http://exflix.blogspot.dk/2013/08/the-chan-cage-jovovich-confusion.html
After one of the producers of EX3 made an anouncement of the cast on his Facebook page, the internet has gone crazy over the absence of Chan, Cage, Jovovich, Rourke & Seagal from the list. Many movie news websites have even drawn the conclusion that the foregoing actors are not going to appear in the movie.
Le me put things in perspective. Nothing is set in stone and any of those actors could be in the movie. As a matter of fact, the participation of Chan, Rourke & Jovovich is very strong so don't count them out yet becasue a producer didn't list them on his Facebook page. The cast will not be announced before EX3 is well into production after August 19, so stay tuned, you may get surprised!

Jovovich is filming in New York as of the 19th, so if she is in EX3, she'd join later in the shoot and probably in a cameo at most.

News From Bulgaria
Hey it's Elrey here, will be filling in for EXBlogman for a while until he's back.
Got some mixed news from Bulgaria. Apparently the main cast will not start filming until Aug 25. The first week starting Aug 19 will be mainly including the stunt doubles & extras. It's almost confirmed that the first action scenes being filmed in Varna will take place in Africa and probably Somalia. The local casting agency has secured the 40 extras of African background to play the Somali policemen. Today they were looking for bodybuilders, martial artists and people with middle eastern traits as extras.
The first actors to arrive are Gibson, Banderas & Snipes. Ford will arrive later in September. Got some mixed reports that Schwarzenegger will not show up in August either which is to be verified as he has Maggie lined up in the Fall?!
Stay tuned, I'll do my best to keep things up-to-date!

Robert Davi Joins EX3
According to the radio station KEarth Robert Davi has joined the cast of EX3! Davi was known in the 80's for his roles in movies such as Die Hard and License to Kill. Interesting addition if true.
