There has been a long running campaign within the Scott Adkins fan community to have the star of Undisputed 2 & 3 and Ninja join the cast of Sylvester Stallone's upcoming Expendables 2. And it would appear they're getting their wish granted, with word now out that Adkins will be appearing in the film as one of Jean Claude Van Damme's henchmen.
Yes, Adkins will hench, which means he's on the villain side of the equation, which means that one of the brightest martial arts screen fighting talents in the world is going to get to punch some much higher priced talent in the face. Maybe several of them. So which of the big guys should he get to punch first?
I'm sure this thing is going to end up with a Stallone / JCVD brawl at some point, so expect Adkins to factor in there somewhere. But will he get a crack at Arnold as well? Dolph? This could be kind of fun ...

Awesome. As long as Scott Adkins gets his moment to shine and really showcase his martial arts skills to the fullest while not getting wasted as an afterthought fall-guy, then I'm cool with whoever face getting busted.
YES! Time for the Adkins diet. Two kicks to the throat and regurgitating on your own blood.

Is that wrestler returning? My vote is for him.
Great for Scott if the movie gets him the recognition he deserves as an action star, but I hope the movie won't be as badly shot and edited like the first one.. Whats the point of having great martial artists like Scott Adkins, Jet Li or Gary Daniels if we can't see what they are doing.. The first Expendables fight and actions scenes were such a mess...
They need to get Tony Jaa.....
