Looks like THE EXPENDABLES sequel is being pimped at Cannes and THIS piece at FirstShowing brings us a glimpse of early promotional artwork for the project.
Concurrently, AB King points us to THIS page on Nu Image's website which presents a smaller version of the image above, and also teases the film's plotline.
NOTE THAT A SIGNIFICANT SPOILER IS CONTAINED IN THE OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS BELOW...
SPOILER!!
The Expendables are back and this time it's personal! After Tool (Mickey Rourke), the heart and soul of the Expendables, is brutally murdered on a mission, his comrades swear to avenge him. They're not the only ones who want blood. Tool’s beautiful young and wild daughter Fiona embarks on her own revenge mission, complicating matters when she is captured and ransomed by a ruthless dictator plotting to destroy a resistance movement. Now Barney and the Expendables must risk everything to save her and humanity.
Last I heard, and I may be wrong about this, the script for EXPENDABLES 2 has yet to be completed and The Powers That Be haven't made a final selection regarding the picture's director (Stallone is in the film, but won't be directing this time around). This said, EXPENDABLES 2 has been in development for some time now and a fair amount of consideration has been given to it already - so I'd expect announcements re: helmer, manly man guest appearances, and whatnot to come along shortly.
