Sylvester Stallone On Bringing The Star Cast OfThe ExpendablesTogether
The Expendablesfranchise is a series of action-packed movies featuring some of the biggest names in Hollywood. The franchise is known for its high-octane action sequences, witty banter between the characters, and an impressive cast of action stars. In an interview, theRockystar revealed how he managed to bring so many stars to his franchise.
“You know people always talk about ‘oh, I have baggage, my baggage.’ Baggage is the best damn thing you may have because that means you’ve got something to sell, something to bring along with you. So all these guys have big-time bags, you see what I mean? They’re developing baggage (laughs). A lot of time people are like, ‘Oh my God, you’re stereotyped.’ Good, then you’re known for something. The NFL is stereotyped for playing football.Everyone has this conjecture that action films are somewhat less prestigious than dramatic films. Nothing could be further from the truth. I’ve done them both and this is hard and dangerous.”
Stallone also stated that finding the right action stars is the most daunting task as these stars are limited. Thus, theCobrastar feels that his star cast has both potential and uniqueness.
“It’s very, very unique. They’re not going to make films like this much longer because it takes a certain person that’s willing to commit and go for it and have an aura. The hardest thing is to find an action star. I don’t give a damn what anyone says, stars come and go. An action star, you can count on one hand, because it’s a very interesting element. And I think all these guys have that potential, otherwise, they wouldn’t be here. And they all blend. It’s something I’m very, very proud of. All these guys do things that are highly unique and they’ve become specialized and rare.”

Sylvester Stallonealso believed that his star cast forThe Expendablesis very unique and bringing them together for the franchise is surely an event. Stallone continued that their event movie is just likeThe Avengers. TheCreedstar added he believes that he has achieved the goal to bring the best of the actors together for this franchise.
“Because they’re one of a kind – to get them all together is very, very rare. Life takes us all down very different paths, so to get them together is an event. That’s the keyword: an event. We’re trying to make an ‘event movie’. Just like The Avengers, why is it so great? Because you’re bringing all these characters together. Well we’re trying to do that too, and I think we’ve accomplished it, actually even better because we’ve brought in even better actors. That’s the element you’re getting here, you get some real heart. This film has the most heart you’re going to find in an action film if you want to use that term.”
