Premise

The mercenary group, the Expendables, led by Barney Ross, come face to face with the team's co-founder Conrad Stonebanks. Ross was forced to kill Stonebanks after he became a ruthless arms trader, but Stonebanks survived and has now made it his mission to destroy the Expendables. Ross resorts to recruiting a new and younger generation of Expendables to help the team overcome his old adversary.

Cast

Confirmed members of the cast include:[2]

Development

In March 2012 Couture said a third installment of The Expendables might begin production in late 2012, after the release of The Expendables 2.[10] In April 2012, Steven Seagal said he was offered a role in a third film.[11] In August 2012, producer Avi Lerner confirmed that Nicolas Cage had been signed for the (potential) sequel. He also said that the producers intended to bring back the series' stars (attempting to have Mickey Rourke reprise his role), had approached Clint Eastwood about a role, and had plans to pursue Harrison Ford and approach Wesley Snipes after his release from prison.[12] Stallone said, "We are thinking about different concepts—the third one is the hardest. The second is the natural progression. The third, that’s when the air gets rare. We’re thinking ambitiously about it...You now have to give audiences something they don’t expect at all—maybe even going into a different genre."[13] Also in August, Chuck Norris said he would not return for a sequel.[14] On August 13, 2012, Jean-Claude Van Damme indicated that Stallone might include him in The Expendables 3 as Claude Vilain, brother of Jean Vilain.[15] On October 31, 2012, it was confirmed that Nu Image and Millennium Films were in the process of pre-selling international distribution rights for The Expendables 3.[16] On December 19, 2012, it was reported that Jackie Chan had agreed to join the sequel on the condition that he would have more than a minor role.[17]

In March 2013, Stallone confirmed he was writing a script for the sequel, and that he intended for the film to be more humorous with moments of drama. Stallone also said that Seagal would not be in the film, and that he wanted to cast more young actors in their mid-20's.[18] In April 2013, Stallone announced that Patrick Hughes would direct the sequel.[19] In May 2013, Chan, Snipes, Cage, and Milla Jovovich were announced to be in advanced negotiations to join the film. Filming is scheduled to begin in August 2013.[20] In June 2013, Lionsgate announced that the film would be released on August 15, 2014.[21] In July 2013 it was reported that actor Mel Gibson would portray the film's villain, and in July, Stallone confirmed Gibson's involvement.[22][23] Also in July, Kellan Lutz, and professional fighters Victor Ortiz, and Ronda Rousey, were added to the cast. It was revealed that the film would feature several younger, technology-oriented action heroes who clash with the veteran Expendables.[24] In August 2013, it was confirmed that Ford, Antonio Banderas and Glen Powell would join the cast, and that Bruce Willis would not be reprising his role as Church.[25] Willis' lack of involvement was cited as a disagreement over money, with production sources indicating that Willis was offered $3 million for four days of shooting in Bulgaria, but Willis wanted $4 million.[7] On September 17, 2013, Kelsey Grammer was announced to be in negotiations to join the film.[8]

Principal photography began on August 19, 2013, in Bulgaria and at the Nu Boyana Film studio in Sofia[1] and ended on October 22.[26] In September 2013, Crews revealed in an interview that Statham survived an on-set mishap when the truck he was driving plunged into the Black Sea after its brakes had failed.[27] In a November 2013 interview, Couture confirmed that filming had finished, and that discussions for a fourth Expendables film were taking place.[28]
