Even though "The Expendables 2" opened at the top of the box office this past weekend to smaller numbers than its predecessor, it seems everyone already has their eye on a third installment. Producer Avi Lerner has boasted he's already inked Nicolas Cage for "The Expendables 3," and says he will be approaching guys like Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford and Wesley Snipes. But there is one Expendable who says he won't be coming back to kick more aging ass: Chuck Norris.

heck wouldnt mind him being in another small role again if it makes sense for the story
Seeing as how the main cast of characters did almost nothing IE: Lundgren,Crews,Couture. All they did was show up and say a few sprinkled lines here and there but they had no substance. Hell not even JCVD had that much screen time and he WAS THE BAD GUY!
The only people that got time on screen was Stallone and Statham...with Arnold and Willis bringing up the rest.
I felt cheated and like JCVD said "I want my moneys worth," Next time.
Maybe B.A. was right all along; Don't touch the van!
Back on topic. I think Chuck has a busy life enough attending to his family and doing what he really is good at. http://somanyhobbies.typepa... Being the subject of funny jokes and being that good old RetroHero. (I once lost a bet about how many bad guys he would kill in that 1\10? movie where he saved those POW's)

It was boring watching the top guys fight nobodies the entire time...give me Nicholas Cage and John Travolta be psychopaths like in Face/Off against Stallone and the crew...hell have Steven Segal be a badguy like he was in Machete and get in a sword fight with someone. Get me Lucy Liu to fight a someone instead of some nobody chinese chick.
I would love for Lucy Liu to kill someone from the main crew in the first few seconds...and then at the end of the movie everyone has their own nemesis and fights.
Lately Hollywood has been nothing but Marvel, DC, Fast 5's and Expendables.....these fcks need to come up with something new.
The movies you should have mentioned are the Total Recall remake, I mean, how dare they REMAKE AN ARNIE FILM, they may as well remake The Terminator with Pee Wee Herman playing Arnie's part....Colin Ferell trying to fill Arnie's shoes, what a joke.....You could have also mentioned a plethora of other unoriginal crap.
But never knock Stallone & his awesome films. He is a Hollywood Immortal along with Arnie, Willis, Ford & Eastwood as far as I'm concerned. Very intelligent man too, he wrote Rocky & wouldn't sell the script unless he was the main man....& who else could have played him better? No one is the only answer.
All Stallone need do next is offer Norris a bigger cheque & part, as well as get Steven Siegal, Jackie Chan, Micheal Pare, Jeff Speakman, Michael Ducascos, Mr-T, Brian Bosworth (the ex-gridiron player from the awesome Stone Cold movie), Richard Norton & Tony Jaa in Expendables 3 & I'll be happy.
Chuck Norris vs Steven Segal
I'd pay big money if they did those two fights alone and they actually have a good amount of time on screen and not this bull that they did with JCVD where he gets 2 minutes.
