Steven Segal didn't want to be a part of the film due to a previous film he did with producer Avi Lerner.

Wesley Snipes had legal issues.

Kurt Russell was not interested in "ensemble acting".

I would like to see Peter Greene (Who played the villain of The Mask, and Dark Blue and played minor villains in Pulp Fiction and The Usual Suspects), Mel Gibson, Christian Slater (Broken Arrow is his 90s movie that I think qualifies him), John Travolta (Pulp Fiction, Broken Arrow, and Face/Off), Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell and Steven Segal.

He mixed it up, but he was seemingly able to do more action because he has been acting longer than Bruce Willis (being a child-actor).

I just got done reading the entire thread and I can't believe not one of you people though of Olivier Gruner

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0344603/

He's the only action actor that I'm aware of that was actually in the military and in special forces.

In my mind, this is as good as it gets. Look at it this way: Stallone started too small in the first film. Really, I think he did. Not enough big names were there for the first movie. In this second one, we have better additions with much more screen time. In the third, we have the second one only with two big problems: we don't have everyone that we had in the second, and we have additions no one cares about (the younger guys). So, my dream cast, of course, is to have EVERY Expendable (excluding dead ones and villains, of course) to appear at once. Imagine what 3 would have been like if we'd been rid of the young people and kept everyone from this one on the project, including Norris and Willis. That's the ultimate action movie. Of course, we've all got wishes as to who they should add, me personally Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan. I do think that it would be nice to change the cast we already have, most notably Terry Crews. He's cool and muscular and all, but he's not really in action movies, you know? Seeing him in bit parts in Get Smart and Benchwarmers really makes me doubt his expendable-ness. If Wesley Snipes hadn't had legal problems, he would have gotten the role of Hale Caesar from the beginning. That alone would have helped.
