Stallone not directing Expendables sequel

Casting News, News, Projects, Rumors

Per Deadline Hollywood, Sylvester Stallone won’t be directing the sequel to his 2009 hit The Expendables.

So far, nothing has been confirmed in terms of cast or plot, as Walter Hill is directing Stallone in Headshot next.

What does this mean? It’s hard to imagine anyone but Stallone handling directing duties for an Expendables film, so whomever they bring in will be probably be coming in with the same sort of take that Stallone (who is still tabbed to star, produce and write the film) would have.

Don’t count out Walter Hill coming on board, either. If Headshot is everything Stallone imagines it to be, and Stallone enjoys working with Hill enough, one imagines the legendary action director coming on board to replace Stallone.

What do you think? Who should direct an Expendables sequel?
