Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed for Expendables 2

If you weren’t satisfied with the cameos by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger in last year’s action extravaganza The Expendables, you’re in luck: they’re back for the sequel and expected to have bigger roles.

According to Deadline, the pair of ’80s tough-guy icons recently finalized deals that would have them playing “substantial” roles in the sequel to the surprisingly successful 2010 film. If everything goes through, this will have them appearing alongside original cast members Sylvester Stallone (who co-wrote and directed the first film), Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, and Jet Li, who are all expected to return.

Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme have both been rumored for the sequel, though that sort of thing is probably to be expected, given the collection of action stars it assembled. Basically, it’s prbably best not to believe Norris is in it until we see his roundhouse kick send Statham, Crews, or one of the other, younger actors flying.

Stallone has stepped down from directing duties on the sequel, and handed the reins to Con Air filmmaker Simon West. Filming is expected to begin in October, so more casting announcements should become official soon.

One of the blessings of streaming services like Netflix is that, in addition to their libraries of original titles, they also have titles that come and go on a regular basis. While the introduction of new titles is always nice, the downside is that titles usually leave the service when new ones join.

As March turns into April, we're going to lose some genuinely great movies on Netflix. While you still have time, though, you should check these three very different movies out.
