Mickey Rourke to Run Guns for ‘The Expendables’

It appears that Sylvester Stallone is certainly swinging for the fences with his latest project, The Expendables. The writer/director/star has already recruited a bevy of action heroes to play roles in the film, which centers around a covert group of mercenaries who attempt to take out a South American dictator. Currently on board the project are Jet Li, Jason Statham, Randy Couture and Dolph Lungdren (!!), with rumors of Ben Kinglsey and Forest Whitaker showing interest as well. Adding to this amazing cast comes today’s announcement that Mickey Rourke will be playing an “unscrupulous arms dealer” in the film and well… I kinda feel sorry for that South American dictator. We’ll keep a close eye on The Expendables and report back with any additional casting announcements, set reports or photos from what is definitely the most testosterone-filled action flick on the horizon!
