Sylvester Stallone in "The Expendables"
Sylvester Stallone knows exactly where he's going to take the Expendables, his band of grizzled mercenaries, now that their flick has grossed $35 million over its opening weekend: back to the multiplex for a sequel.
And Sly's "Expendables" co-stars are primed and ready to go, as they told MTV News when we caught up with them at Comic-Con last month.
"I would love to come back. Thank god I don't die," laughed Terry Crews. "I'm ready to come back and do another."
Dolph Lundgren also expressed his desire to return for a second installment, which Stallone has said is already plotted out in his mind. Sly is hoping that with Arnold Schwarzenegger leaving the California governor's mansion early next year, the action hero will return to "Expendables" territory, perhaps for a meatier role this time.
"If this works, I would love to get him in the next one," Stallone told us. "I really think so. He's been out of the limelight a long time, and I think this is the kind of film that would be a nice intro."
Sly convinced Arnie to do it once; there's no reason to think he can't do it again. There's just something magnetic about Stallone, as interviews with his co-stars made clear. Again and again during our Comic-Con chats, the cast spoke effusively about Sly's leadership skills on-set.
"With all this testosterone and all this adrenaline walking around, he kept it all in check," laughed Steve Austin.
Added Crews, "There's no other person on the planet who could have put something like this [together] except for Sylvester Stallone. He created the whole summer tent pole as we know it. To be involved and to be with these guys, these legends, the whole thing, I'm just honored."
