'The Expendables 2' Poster: Just Call It 'EX2'

I don't have any belief that The Expendables 2 is likely to be the movie I hope it will be. After the first movie, I'm not even convinced that this sequel is fated to be a solid action movie. But magic can happen. While we wait to see any footage from the movie that Simon West has been directing in Bulgaria, here's a poster that also acts as the best collage of aging action stars you're going to see this year.

I can easily see some young action fan having made a similar version of this poster by collaging stills in the late '80s or early '90s. This one really ups the ante with leather, flying dirt and a lot of thousand-yard (well, maybe 400-yard for some of those guys) stares.

Check out the full poster below. Update: image has been removed at the request of the studio.

Dammit, that makes me want to see the movie. Here's what we know about The Expendables 2:

Sylvester Stallone is joined by Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Liam Hemsworth, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. They will all punch and/or shoot things. As the poster reveals, there is also at least one woman, Nan Yu, in the movie. She will evidently also shoot and/or punch things.
