Speculation on which action stars may or may not appear in The Expendables 3:

The Expendables 3 is expected to return all the major (Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews) and minor players (Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger) as well as add a bunch of new ones. Rumors suggest Nicolas Cage, Jackie Chan and maybe even Wesley Snipes, Harrison Ford and others. Nothing is confirmed though. Just Hughes and Stallone.
