So Who Will Willis and Schwarzenegger Play in The Expendables?
Slash Film has a bit of spoilery goodness about who Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger will be playing in the greatest film of all-time yet to be released, Sylvester Stallone's upcoming The Expendables. By now if you've been following the site you can probably run down the amazing cast list in your sleep, but we never really had an idea of who the two biggest names would be in their cameos. Until now.
Bruce will play Mr Church, the man who hires the Expendables, a highly-trained team of deadly combat mercenaries, to go on a mission to South America to overthrow and execute a villainous dictator. Interestingly enough, the role of Church was originally offered to Schwarzenegger, who declined in favor of a smaller cameo part due to political concerns. Schwarzenegger will now play a retired Lieutenant General of the Expendables.
Can you imagine Willis, the Governator, and Sly together on set. Imagine if they were in the same trailer. You think it'd just spontaneously combust from all that testerone? I wonder if they'll arm wrestle. Or compare scars. Or measure each other's...
