If the latest reports are to be believed, Jean-Claude Van Damme is joining Sylvester Stallone and co. in The Expendables sequel.
Having turned down a role in the first Expendables film, Van Damme seems to have been swayed by Sylvester Stallone to take part, in the wake of the first movie’s commercial success.
In a web Q&A hosted by VanDammeFan, The Muscles from Brussel's collaborator, Sheldon Lettich confirmed that his Belgian pal has signed on to play a baddie in The Expendables 2.
Lettich said, “He said he's going to be in The Expendables 2, playing a villain.”
Sylvester Stallone - who wrote and directed the first film - will not return as writer or director. It is unknown who will pen the script and take charge of the supreme heavyweight cast and at this stage.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has yet to confirm his involvement in The Expendables 2, but Bruce Willis is reported to be returning for the sequel.
