Sly has been trying to get actor Nicolas Cage, for the first two “Expendables” movies, but Nic Cage kept turning them down. Well, Nic is finally available, and is a go for “Expendables 3”. They don’t say what character Cage will be playing, whether a hero or a villain, but in my opinion, Cage should play the villain. He would make a great badguy for these movies.
Sly says, he wants Mickey Rourke back for the third one. They are also interested in Harrison Ford, and Wesley Snipes.
Deadline, reports.
Hopefully, they’ll get Kurt Russell soon.

Nicholas Cage is one of my favorite actors. Rit up there with Deniro and Pacino. You should checkout Bringing Out The Dead, if you haven’t seen it already. Directed by Martin Scorcese. One of his most underrated films.
Think I’ve seen “Bringing Out the Dead” before, yeah, it’s a good flick. I like Nic Cage a lot myself. He’s in a lot of great flicks especially “Con Air”, “The Rock”, and “Knowing”, which are a few of my favorites. I also thought “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” was a great flick too, check that one out if you haven’t yet.

Of course, Nic Cage had his share of making horrible movies like “Drive Angry”, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, “Season of the Witch”, and the “Ghost Rider” flicks. Not all of his movies are good.

On another note about Nicolas Cage, I know he’s not everyone’s favorite actor, but love him or hate him, he is box office king. Gotta accept that fact.
Kev
He’s actually not even in the top ten (or 20) of highest grossing box office actors.
…but he made many blockbusters hits over the years. Look at his box office mojo for proof: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?id=nicolascage.htm

Yes, but you said he is the box office king, implying he was at the top (or near it at least) and he isn’t.
Just because he isn’t pretty high on some stupid top list online, doesn’t mean he’s a failure. He’s made more than several box office blockbusters. HE IS at the top of his game, no matter what you think of him. He continues to make blockbuster movies.
