The Expendables 3 is set to open in theaters on August 13th. Just like the last two action epics the film hosts some of the biggest action stars in history. Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Harrison Ford and Jet Li to name just a few. Rumors were even circulating that legendary martial artist and actor Jackie Chan had a part in the movie but was unable to participate.
Last Saturday, Lionsgate hosted a press conference for the movie and a reporter asked Stallone if he planned on continuing to add Asian actors to the cast in future Expendables sequels. Stallone replied by saying “YES!” and that he really wanted Jackie Chan to be a part of the third film’s cast, but unfortunately, Chan’s schedule was so booked that he did not have as few as three days open in his schedule to do any filming. Stallone added that he will try his best to have him on board for the next film.
