After the worldwide box office success of "The Mercenaries", he has been working on the second part for a few months now and the first thing is to confirm the new action heroes who will sign to enter the second part.
It has already been confirmed that Ryan Seacrest will appear but the participation of Kurt Rusell, Mike Tyson and Arnold Schwarzenegger with more minutes is also rumored, after ending his political life.
In addition, Jean C. Van Damme has confirmed that he would be interested in participating in the sequel as long as Steven Seagal does not appear in it.. We do not know what the reason is but it is clear that Van Damme does not want to see Seagal even in painting.
Director Sheldon Lettich has commented on this the following:
“JC (Van Damme) seems to be interested in appearing in the sequel, as far as I know… if Steven Seagal is not in the sequel. From what I've heard Seagal won't be there, not because of Sly, but because of producer Avi Lerner who had a few bad experiences with Steven. "
