Jackie Chan - confirmed to be part of 'Expendables 3' cast


//I have looked at Jackie Chan's face with admiration in the 70s and 80s, and then with disgust in the 90s till today. Why are not these senior citizens moving along and giving way to fresh faces and talent, and hogging the traffic? 

The most sickening thing is that people like Jackie Chan confuse their popularity and wealth with intellect. Someone please remind him that he is rich because he can act and jump like a monkey, not because he is intelligent. Those pretty young things that keep on appearing in his movies and cuddled up or willing to give up their lives for him are a figment of his wet dreams that his is yet to wake up from. No wonder he can't stop wanting to be a director of his own movie. Spare us all the horror of watching you, Jackie Chan!

At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, international martial arts actor star Jackie Chan has confirmed to be part of the cast of "Expendables 3."

The film series “Expendables” has brought forth an ensemble cast of notable action superstars together. To many, the Expendables is pretty much a dream-up of various action and martial arts actors coming together. In the first film, you had notable Hollywood action veterans such as Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis. It brought forth other veteran and newcomer actors such as Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke, Randy Couture, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. It also brought along international martial arts actor Gary Daniels.
In “Expendables 2,” martial arts actors Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme were signed as part of the cast. While they were trying to get international martial arts actor Jackie Chan on board, he had other scheduled commitments.
Those that wish to see Jackie Chan in a future Expendables movie may get their wishes granted. Chan was at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur to promote his latest film called “CZ12” also known as “Chinese Zodiac.”


At the conference, Chan talked about Stallone inviting him to join the cast for Expendables 2 but couldn't take him up on it because of scheduling conflicts. But, Chan told reporters that Stallone extended the invitation for the Expendables 3. With Expendables 3 combined with other film projects, Chan has his work cut out for him. In short, the international martial arts superstar will be joining the cast of the Expendables 3.
This is due to an agreement that Chan will not have a minor role. With Chan's involvement, it's supposed to be a buddy-buddy movie. It Jet Li does return for Expendables 3, it'll be the second film that Chan and Li have worked on together since “Forbidden Kingdom” back in 2008. Also, actor Nicolas Cage is confirmed to be part of the Expendables 3 cast.
