Our 'Expendables 3' action legends wish list
Which aging tough-guy and tough-gal icons are left to appear in the franchise?
With part 2 currently racking up the bloody bodies (and box office dollars), it's only a matter of time before the casting news for "The Expendables 3" starts pouring in. Nicolas Cage as already signed on, and the producers reportedly also want Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood to join the fun. In that spirit, HitFix has picked another 15 action heroes and heroines who we'd like to see kick some ass in the next film.
Check out our choices below. Agree? Disagree? Who did we miss?

August 19, 2012 at 2:49AM EST Reply to CommentSince when has Nic Cage signed on? I remember that Sly said on the red carpet that he wanted him, Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford for part 3 and suddenly one day later, everybody was reporting that he had already signed on!

Playhouse Or Rothrock, for that matter, if they want to up the female quotient of the team.

August 19, 2012 at 3:30AM EST Reply to CommentHow is micheal Jai White a legend? he did a terrible spawn movie and everything else has been straight to video, the only ones on that list that are either not too old or not too lame are jim brown,jackie chan,roddy piper,LOUIS gossett jr,and rutger hauer
how about putting people who still have the muscles to do action? Ernie Hudson? Kurt Russel? Micheal Bien? Mark Dacoscos
That Werewolf Guy But have you seen any of his straight to video movies? Some of them (and his performance in all of them, both acting- and fighting wise) are much better than most modern theatrical released action movies. Y'know, those that feature "serious" actors, like Neeson, Damon or Farrell, because apparently no studio wanted to hire people with muscles and/or real fighting skills anymore.
August 19, 2012 at 4:12AM ESTAlso I think it's funny that you suggest Ernie Hudson. While I always enjoy seeing him anywhere, he is a much weirder suggestion that White.
Talontroy Agreed Kurt russel he is snake pliskin for Christ sake

August 19, 2012 at 10:37AM EST Reply to CommentI think people are getting carried away with the list. I think the vibe Sly was going for was " classic " action stars. With a small exception to statham. Steven Segal being a very impressive and accomplished fighter just seems like the logical choice. They hit the jackpot with Van Damme. I think maybe for the next villain, Michael Ironside, Jackie Chan should also be considered, Kurt russel, Nicolas Cage is a welcome addition.

August 19, 2012 at 11:38AM EST Reply to CommentI agree with Steven Seagal. I kept saying he should have been in there already. Jackie Chan and Chow Yun Fat would be great additions. They truly are legends as well. But what about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Steve Austin was already includes since the first why not "The Rock"? Also, and it may seem as a long shot, but Wesley Snipes has been in many action films and with his martial arts, Jason Statham could have his hands full. Plus it would be good to see sly and snipes together again since Demolition Man.

He's burned too many bridges and lost too much credibility after the mob fiasco.

August 19, 2012 at 7:46PM EST Reply to CommentOn the side of the ladies let's add Kate Beckinsale, Milla Jovovich, Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman. Then take it one step further and use the third film to introduce a female version of 'The Expendables.' (Why should guys have all the fun?) Have Grier and Hamilton be the counterparts to Stallone and Statham. And add actress Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones Brienne the Beauty) as their resident powerhouse.
CHRISW Forgot Gina Carano and Geena Davis.
