Oh man. Get ready to change your shorts.
Total Film is reporting that a Bulgarian film studio executive named David Varod (of Nu Boyana Studios) has revealed what might be the most welcome film news of 2011: that John Travolta, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and CHUCK NORRIS have joined the cast of The Expendables 2. Nu Boyana Studios is where the film will be shot, so this rumor is on really good authority.
While it was already rumored that Jean-Claude Van Damme would play one of the villains alongside Bruce Willis, this is the first time we’ve heard Chuck Norris and John Travolta tossed around as serious possibilities for the film. I’m not really all that excited by John Travolta (although he can be bad ass when he wants to), but Chuck Norris is… dude, he’s Chuck Norris. No other name could excite me more.
It’s expected that most of the original cast — including Sylvester Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin, and Arnold Schwarzenegger — will be retuning for the sequel, which will be directed by Simon West. The Expendables 2 is set for release in August 2012.
