Mickey Rourke Is Apparently Expendable In Expendables Sequel!
10/19/2011 4:30 AM ET | Filed under: Bruce Willis • Film Flickers • Arnold Schwarzenegger • Sylvester Stallone • Mickey Rourke
Uh-oh! They're down one Expendable!
Although Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger will both have expanded roles in the upcoming Expendables 2, it appears that original castmember Mickey Rourke will not be reprising his role in the next installment!
Apparently, the only reason he even appeared in the first one was as a favor to director Sylvester Stallone, and there wasn't enough of a financial incentive for this one for him to be interested!
Hey! Fair enough!
We're pretty sure that there's enough testosterone for his absence to not be too noticed this time around!

Glenn Close Plays A 19th Century Cross-Dressing Woman In New Film Albert Nobbs
Seriously? Jaleel White Says He Doesn't Miss Playing Steve Urkel!
He's above this comeback cavalcade of former action stars movie. Even Statham. Rourke is an Oscar kinda guy now for sure. after his comeback a few years back.
I like this movie because its old guys having fun and not a comeback movie at all…. Mickey's role was small and meaningless anyways so wont miss him.
