Following last week’s news about Harrison Ford joining The Expendables 3 after Bruce Willis got a bit greedy, further casting news has been announced with regards to more big names signing up.
The Wrap has confirmed that veteran action stars Mel Gibson (Lethal Weapon series, Braveheart) and Antonio Banderas (Desperado, The Mask of Zorro) have both been confirmed to star in the third installment of the action franchise.
Gibson is reportedly set to play an adversary to Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) while Banderas’ role has yet to be revealed though it is great to see both men back in kick-ass mode.
The new film is being directed by newcomer Patrick Hughes (Red Hill) and will apparently focus on a younger group of action heroes who initially clash with the older characters only to then join forces and save the day.
It is scheduled for release on August 15th 2014.
