Jean Claude Van Damme will be the villain in ‘Expendables 2’
Jean Claude Van Damme will “one of the villains” in “Expendables 2” – reports say.
Sylvester Stallone has long toyed with having Jean-Claude Van Damme come aboard for this follow-up to the extremely popular action ensemble, often poking fun at the Muscles from Brussels on his personal Twitter account for not being man enough to take on what will surely be an intense shoot.
The news of Jean-Claude Van Damme coming aboard didn’t stem from there, though, as Sylvester Stallone has been suspiciously absent on the social networking site since January 29th.
This news actually came from Jean-Claude Van Damme’s longtime collaborator, Sheldon Lettich, the writer-director behind Double Impact and Lionheart, who was advised by Van Damme himself that he would be playing a villain, presumably against Bruce Willis, who has long been set to play the main villain in the movie.
“Expendables 2” is set for theaters August 17, 2012.
