The Expendables Spoilers

There are only a handful of films that come around where you just hear the names of the cast members and you think "Man, someone might really get hurt during that production." The Expendables is one of those movies. The hype and excitement surrounding the cast was huge regarding the initial news that Sylvester Stallone would be writing and directing a film that boasts the talents of Sylvester Stallone himself, Dolph Lundgren Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Randy Couture, and Eric Roberts with appearances by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis.

We've assembled all the bits and details we've got on the film and have compiled a list of spoilers, news, information, and images that have been unleashed upon the world. Be careful, this list will be constantly updated, ever growing and expanding, and you might stumble on to something you just don't want to know yet!

We finally have a release date! Check it out below.

Confirmed:

• Sylvester Stallone is Barney Ross aka The Schizo, a veteran Expendable and leader of the team.
  
  
• Jason Statham is Lee Christmas, a British-American Expendable and second in command of the team. He is a former S.A.S. soldier and expert at close quarters combat using knives
  
  
• Mickey Rourke is Tool, a former Expendable, now an arms dealer and tattoo parlor artist/owner who helps the Expendables.
  
  
• Jet Li is Bao Thao, a Vietnamese-American Expendable and an expert at hand-to-hand combat.
  
  
• Dolph Lundgren is Gunnar Jensen, a Swedish-American Expendable and expert at sniping, also a war veteran. He eventually goes a bit rogue and winds up fighting Jet Li in the film.
  
  
• Terry Crews is Hale Caesar, Bao's best friend, also a weapons specialist. He is deadly with his automatic shotgun and will serve as some of the comedy relief, though the film is said to have a ton of funny moments from everyone else as well.
  
  
• Eric Roberts is Monroe, a corrupt C.I.A. agent who is preventing the Expendables from killing General Garza.
  
  
• Steve Austin is Dan Paine, Monroe's bodyguard and a former Marine.
  
  
• Randy Couture is Toll Road, an Expendable and demolitions expert. Also deadly in close quarters.
  
  
• David Zayas is General Garza, the evil dictator.
  
  
• Arnold Schwarzenegger has a cameo role as a retired Lieutenant General of the Expendables.
  
  
• Bruce Willis has a cameo role as Church. The plans are to film Arnold, Sly, and Bruce together in Los Angeles for their scene, the first ever to have all 3 in one film.
  
  
• Videos have leaked online from fans who have recorded footage of Stallone doing his own stunts in a running sequence  and an explosion from the film while they were shooting in Brazil
  
  
• The film will not have the cliché recruitment sequence and will start with The Expendables already formed.
  
  
• August 20th, 2010 has been set as the release date.

Yet To Be Clarified:

• David Zayas stated that his character is a bad guy but not necessarily the antagonist, and that there are many surprises in this movie. This leads us to believe that there is either someone above General Garza or the story goes away from the political conflict in South America. Could it be that Dolph's character is the main bad guy in the end?
