Bruce Willis Confirms Role in The Expendables

Back in June, Moviehole published a rumor that Bruce Willis had joined the already packed action star-heavy cast of Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables.

At the time it was unknown if Willis would find the time to shoot the scene, as he was knee deep in the Kevin Smith buddy cop comedy A Couple of Dicks. Sly’s publicist responded to the speculation, noting that some people “have it right” but that she “can’t release the name until the deal is absolutely finalized. I’m not trying to tease you, but you won’t be disappointed..at least most of you won’t.” And now we finally have a confirmation, from the man himself.

Willis tells MTV that he hasn’t filmed the scene yet, and that he’s still “waiting for a call from Sly about when we’re going to try and make that happen.” And while he has yet to read any script pages, Willis was able to confirm that the cameo appearance involves sharing the screen with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stallone.

Bruce will play Mr Church, the man who hires the Expendables, a highly-trained team of deadly combat mercenaries, to go on a mission to South America to overthrow and execute a villainous dictator. Interestingly enough, the role of Church was originally offered to Schwarzenegger, who declined in favor of a smaller cameo part due to political concerns. Schwarzenegger will now play a retired Lieutenant General of the Expendables.

    Every time I look at the cast list on IMDb I have to pinch myself. I really can't believe they've assembled this cast! If only JCVD and Kurt Russell would reconsider...the film seems incomplete without them.

    I can not wait for this!
  • Now that Stallone is behind the camera, he is eating up reciprocated favors faster than a Hungry Hippo

    Not yet filmed. Sounds to me that one of both cameo stars could back out at the 11th hour. Keeping my fingers crossed that that doesn't happen. Come to think of it though I would rather wait for Arnie to finish being Governator and do a full on starring role with Stallone.

    O M G ! I was just talking about this today with a friend, about arnie and bruce! This movie is going to rooooooooooooooooooooooooo0ck!
  • Can someone invent a video game that's like a fighting game with all the iconic action stars of the 80s/90s? Stallone, Arnold, Bruce, Van Damme, etc?

    HA!

    way to be sly, way to be

    Jesus Christ, Sly Stone is trying to make the best movie ever and it sounds like he's getting closer to accomplishment.
  • Dude, Sly is totally standing on a box for that photo. I don't know how tall Bruce is but Sly is only about 5'6" in real life and Arnold is almost 6 feet tall. There is no way that he matches them shoulder to shoulder.

    Pay Van Damme and Seagal whatever they're asking to make this happen ... and, yeah, chuck old Snake Pliskin in there too.
