Looks like they've also swapped out Nan Yu and replaced her with Scott Adkins in the promotions.

Official Character Poster for Hector - The Expendables 2

Wow! Looks like somebody made a good impression on set. He was back for reshoots to enhance his part and now an official poster. Adkins is on his way!

Great!

Swedish poster
(more to come? I suspect this one has leaked because they've asked websites to take it down and that it was supposed to be released with other posters like this one with like Statham, Li, Lundgren etc)

I realllly hope Dolph lands a juicy role after this movie makes millions (which it will) because although Liam Neeson is probably a better actor Dolph could easily fill some of the roles LN gets.

[Jox]

Yeah, but before he came to do stuff like TAKEN and a couple blockbuster, Neeson was an acclaimed Oscar nominated actor. Gives prestige to have a real actor like him on genre productions with less skilled thespians.

Although D in The Grey would have been fun!

[Jox]

For sure that'd be perfect for him, but most people in the industry think, and they're not so wrong, that you need a really great actor to own a film alone on screen for 120 mins.

[GeneralMcFaiL]

I'm not so much in the category that thinks LM is one of the greatest actors out there... to me he just has that type of snarling beast charisma that says (don't #@%* with me) and can deliver lines in that same tone. He's a lot of fun to watch on screen... but I wouldn't have him in the same vein as say a sir anthony hopkins. Of course people will throw Schindlers list out there as proof that i'm jaded against LM, but to me he's in the same vein as Dolph, Statham, Stallone, Arny where he just appears to be the same guy in each role with varying degrees of temperance.

I'm convinced if given the chance Dolph could easily pull off a role like Taken or even Grey. His size will always be a factor but I think if he just nailed that one role that could show off a couple different sides to him he'd be receiving bigger offers in no time.

[GeneralMcFaiL]

C'mon guys we can't let this film drop so far down the list.. I mean this will be DL"s second 100mil dollar grossing film in the last 5 years... not many actors out there can say that these days!

I really hope this movie tears it up and Dolph can start attaching himself to better projects!

p.s. everyone who i've shown the trailer to or at least talked to about the film has said they are excited for this film... even the most cynical ones who don't like action films... i'd say that's usually pretty good evidence a film is going to do well!

Composer Bryan Tyler was just in the studio with Sly...

Thats cool I really liked the first score!

[Tom]

Brian Tyler could sideline as Dolphs stunt double if he likes.

Yeah, he's a cross between Dolph and fellow Swede Alexander Skarsgård. Only shorter.

Rumor has it that THE EXPENDABLES could be one of the possible TV series to be developed at Lionsgate.
