Schwarzenegger will be in ‘The Expendables’!

Stallone and Schwarzenegger will finally be on the big screen together. Â  Ain’t it Cool News just received word from a “reliable” source (*cough* Stallone himself *cough*) that Schwarzenegger would be appearing in ‘The Expendables’ as himself, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The character will appear in the film, because  it seems that the Governor and Sly’s character Barney Ross have some history back when Arnold was shooting ‘Conan the Barbarian’.

AICN was also able to wrangle a little more news out of their source. Â  Ben Kingsley is out as the film’s villain and Eric Roberts is in. Â  Also, I guess it wasn’t official until now, but Mickey Rourke has officially signed on for the film.

This is great news all around. Â  It was awesome enough to know that Stallone, Jason Statham, and Jet Lie were doing an action movie together. Â  Then Rourke came on board. Â  Now Schwarzenegger and Eric Roberts, the Roberts sibling with more talent, if you ask me, are also showing up.

This film cannot get made soon enough. Â  In a perfect world, this film would already have made more than ‘Titanic’ in pre-sales.

  1. This sounds like it is either going to be cheezy and terrible, or single-handedly the greatest action movie of all time. The cast listed on IMDB (sans Kingsley) is jaw-dropping.

  2. THIS SOUNDS FREAKIN AWESOME.
