First off JCVD would kick jet lis little ass in real life. So why would jcvd loose to him in a movie. Most of jcvds straight to DVD movies are better than the expendables. Universal soldier 3 was a good movie. Who wants to see Steven seagal in a movie he’s a fat pig (cop). Its all about the muscles from Brussels he would squash seagal like a bug. Jcvd is still balling watch his TV show behind closed doors. He don’t need expendables. Expendables needed him. I didn’t go to the theater see that garbage movie. Jcvd is a king in Belgium.

In reply to Will. It would be sick to see Tony Jaa as a bad guy and have him fight Jet Li.

Some of the comments mentioned having a sequel with villains in it, if they did a Star Wars methodology (Star Wars = Goodies win/Empire Strikes Back = Baddies win/Return of the Jedi = 50/50 with goodies ultimately winning) they could have it where the villains set back the Expendables. And not just any villains:

John Malkovich (makes the perfect villain thinker)
Jeremy Irons (makes the perfect villain nutjob)
Tommy Lee Jones (could be a hero or badguy, knifefight scene in Under Siege classic, he got old pretty quick, maybe a dictator or something)
Gary Oldman (would make a good dirty senator)
Edward Norton (makes the perfect self serving henchman captain if you will)
Mr T (you gotta have Mr T, he’s a bit past his prime for muscular action, but there has to be some way to fit him in)
Mike Tyson (honestly, he’s a worse villain in real life, how can you not have him biting ears off our heroes)
Jason Patrick (I liked his attitude in The Losers, but I think he can play a no nonsense villain, like a shadowy sniper type)
Chow Yun Fat (The Corruptor was brilliant)

After compiling that list, it occurs to me that most really good bad guys tend to be cerebral as opposed to heroes who are muscular in their actions.

I think they should get Donnie Yen (ip Man) guys speaks perfect English and did fight choreography for blade 2 and is a hot name in HK at the moment.

other choices Tony jaa (stopped making movies now and has become a monk to get out of his contract due to thai mafia)

Michael Jai White would be very good choice (Blood and Bones) i think the should of chosen him for Blade series.

I also think Vin Diesel / Dwayne Johnson would be a good choice as they are quite popular

but at the end of the day its all about who is more recognised/famous and will bring in more money.

In reply to Raffydogg. He's too busy trying to stay out of jail last time I read about him.

Haven’t seen The Expendables yet but I wouldn’t have wanted to see Segal or JCVD in it anyway, never been a big fan of either of them, especially Segal.

The Only good film I saw Segal in was Executive Decision and the best part was his character dies in the film!

Haa haa.

In reply to BrianED. What about Tony Jaa. Some muay thai madness of his might be well-placed in a sequel..
