Terry Crews is back for the second installment of the action-packed big-screen re-make of The Expendables. The much-anticipated sequel is expected to blow the first edition directed by Sylvester Stallone away. Crews will be starring alongside Hollywood heavy hitters, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Randy Couture and Steve Austin with cameos by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis.

Moviegoers were receptive to the first installment of the film, which grossed a little under $250 million dollars. Critics on the other hand were not fond of the testosterone-filled movie. Lionsgate will be producing the sequel and shaking things up a bit, Stallone will not be directing the sequel and screenwriters David Agusto and Ken Kaufman are throwing in some unexpected twists and turns.
