Cage: Right on, I like him!

Eastwood: Too old, perhaps just a small cameo

Seagal: Won't do it due to feud with Expendables producer Avi Lerner

Chan: Sweet! Pretty sure he was confirmed a while back??

Snipes: Yeah....he's in jail.

Mel Gibson needs to be in this!!

I would say this is old news. I think i heard that Jackie Chan was already on board with this. And with any other star that is on board it's all just fan boys wanting there fav actors to be on the next film. I'd love for Wesley Snipes to come on. He's out from jail this year!

I know these are pure action films so they should be taken for what they are, but god damn the acting was AWFUL in the last one.

Pure self parody if you ask me, gold at that!

^ It'll be awful in the next one and the one after that. These guys aren't know for their acting skills. :D

IMO there so bad, they're enjoyable for what the movie is... The actions heros from the 90s and 00s saying good bye!

I'm really looking forward to this one. I enjoyed The Expendables (despite the terrible camera work) and the sequel managed to outdo it in pretty much every way. As long as you don't take films like this too seriously they're really enjoyable.

I wasn't too pleased with the last one. This movie is meant to be serious, not an action comedy and Stallone seems to be drifting from the serious part and adding comedy and stupid one-liners that really ruin the movie. Arnold, even though it was great to see him again, was absolutely under utilized. The same goes for Chuck Norris. They need to keep this movies on a serious note and forget about the comedy, otherwise, it will fail. Stallone is well known for being an epic fail when it comes to comedy. Every comedy he has tried to make has failed big time at the box office and unfortunately, he is the one that writes the script for this movies, so I sincerely hope he gets much more serious on the next movie.

I don't know what more you could expect for cameo roles. Giving them any more screen time would only have detracted from the main cast and simply wasn't necessary. Personally, I was happy with their roles.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
