Mickey Rourke, the star of his latest film “The Wrestler”, has officially joined the cast of Stallone’s next action movie “The Expendables”. Rourke will play an unscrupulous arms dealer who becomes the go-to guy for a group of mercenaries planning to topple a South American dictator. The cast so far: Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Forrest Whitaker, Mickey Rourke, and Ben Kingsley. WOW!!! A powerful cast! 7 iconic actors all playing in the same movie with Sly!!! Sly must of seen “The Wrestler”, loved it so much that he thought Mickey Rourke would be a perfect addition to the cast.
I feel that Sly isn’t done signing big names yet, as I feel he will sign a few more big names. “The Expendables” will be a fuckin’ sweet ass movie!!! BRING IT ON SLY!!!!

Edit to add: I forgot to say something else, this is the 2nd actor in the film where Sly is re-teaming up with, Mickey Rourke also co-starred in Sly’s film “Get Carter”. Sly is not only re-teaming with Dolph, now Mickey.
