WOW. Just when you thought Slyvester Stallone couldn’t pack more action heroes in his upcoming action film The Expendables, AICN breaks the news that Arnold Schwarzenegger has joined the cast. But before you get too excited, we must warn you that it’s only a cameo. Arnold is only filming one day, and he will be playing himself - California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. So don’t expect to see Arnold getting his hands dirty. Also, Eric Roberts has apparently replaced Ben Kingsley as CIA agent Monroe.

The cast now includes Mickey Rourke, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Forest Whitaker, Eric Roberts and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film tells the story about an “expendable” team, hired to do jobs that no one else can or will. The team is sent to infiltrate a South American country to overthrow the ruthless dictator and liberate the country.

  • MAN. idon't care HOW bad this might be, i'm going to watch it!

    maybe he should make another pitch to JCVD. everyone and they mama is going to be in this film.

  • I thought Schwarzenegger wanted to get back into movies...why is he playing himself?..
  • How does this make people living in California feel? Do those of you in California mind if Arnold takes time for films and such?
  • nice, nice. This project sounds like it's going to be so much fun.
  • better than getting no acting gigs, lol
  • Wow.
    this sounds like the most amazing movie ever made. All we need is JCVD for a good old "Commando" style actioner, and this will be absolutely gold
  • my thoughts exactly. fun, mindless violence. sign me up.
  • This movie has potential but can it deliver?
  • Palmer
    That's pretty awesome I guess. I'm wondering what would happen if he had a cameo as himself in Terminator Salvation, how meta would that be?!
  • Palmer
    I live in Orange County, California and I could care less. Sure our economy is in the shitter and the state can not agree of a budget but w/e. Not like all our problems are going to be solved overnight or that his cameo will really have a huge impact on the state.
  • ha sounds cool. il already at the theatre waiting.
  • I. CAN. NOT. WAIT.
  • filmkid
    this is great they also should add bruce willis in the mix and bruce campbell
  • Goobity
    No Steven Segal or Chuck Norris? Still, looks like a fun ride.
  • gah
    great cast but seriously what the hell is Forest Whitaker doing here? he seems like the odd man out (and not because he's black).
  • is it considering acting if he's playing himself though?...I'd rather he was playing some grizzled general or mercenary still doing his small cameo....it would be cool to have him opening the film in the first scene and then just kill him off in the first 5 minutes..hehe
  • as long as its as Rambo im in
  • Wow this flick just keeps on beefing up. Rolling these names of in the trailer alone is going to put asses in seats..
  • Dobbs
    Glad he can find the time to shoot film in between showing the government his Conan sword and writing 20K pink slips. Total Recall!
  • Goobity
  • awesome man. i thought he was never allowed to do all that stuff as governor. but he did maybe apparently do a cameo in t:salvation so....
  • YES GOVERNATOR
  • Roshow
    This sounds like the ultimate guy movie of our generation. I'm pumped. JCVD needs to get up in this. One second thought, a movie with Stallone, Arnold and JCVD may kick too much ass... even Chuck Norris couldn't handle that.
  • JCVD would guarantee my ticket sale.
  • The Expendables > Inglorious Basterds.
  • hey, i'm from Orange County also, and aside from the fact that Arnold doesn't do anything anyway,

    the post reads that he'll only be filming for a day. that's nothing to get all riled up over.
  • it won't matter. it could be no plot, and just bad-ass ass kicking and people will still want to watch it.
  • that trailer would work too. plain white letters on black background.

    Rourke
    Stallone
    Statham
    Li
    Couture
    Lundgren
    Whitaker
    Roberts
    Schwarzenegger
  • LatinoReview is saying Danny Trejo has joined as well....I'm actually sold on this now
  • LatinoReview is reporting that Danny Trejo has joined as well....I'm actually sold on this now
  • JCVD turned down a role in The Expendables already...
  • Best Action Film ever?
  • gah
    Dude, Ghost Dog doesnt count. I dig that film but we're talking action heroes here.
  • Quickly GET TO THE CHOPPER.....
  • agree totally. This movie is already a hit, even before production has started.
  • I knew Arnold would eventually come around. It's cool that they are going to use his political power in this movie. All they need now is a cameo from Jesse Ventura.
  • Especially if this news is legit. I mean who doesn't enjoy watching them some Danny Trejo?
  • Chuck Norris needs to be in this movie. I forgot all about him.
  • Eric R.
    That's great. Now all that needs to happen is have Jean Claude Van Damme get his head out of his ass and join the most incredible ass kicking team ever assembled! I'm mean Jesus all we need now is a cameo from the A-Team to solidify this movie as legend!
  • Anthony DG
    That's great that Arnold is going back to acting even if it is for one day... Oh wait a minute, maybe he should concentrate more on his previous job as Governor and get California out of the debt he put us in. Or just maybe he can donate the money he gets from the movie to balance the state budget so we can get out damn tax return money back. Now we see where his priorities really are.. That's our Governater.
  • Eastern_Digital
    I'm still waiting for Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris to join. But count me in anyway.

    Jean-Paul Belmondo would be great too.
  • shadow
    Sorry, I don't want the universe to explode from the AWESOME.
  • Yes! Who is your daddy and what does he do??
  • Branden
    I don't know why, but I think this movie is going to be so badass.
  • Alex
    Sly should ask Chuck Norris to be in this!
  • it would be a bad political move for arnold to get back into movies.
  • CraziFuzzy
    Bad move politically? He's gonna be termed out shortly, and I'm not thinking he's going to head to congress.. I don't think even the governator would be able to sit through one of those 'inquiry's'.
  • to be honest I'm more stoked about Trejo than I am about Arnold...he's been a solid action guy ever since Desperado
