Forrest Whitaker is reportedly in negotiations to join Sylvester Stallone’s men-on-a-mission movie The Expendables.
The Hollywood Reporter has it that Whittaker is close to signing on.
Sly has slowly been building his team, which sounds like a cult thesp match-up to rival Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.
So who is on board for his tale of mercenaries heading to South America to take out a dictator? Here’s our handy guide.
Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone)
Repeating his Rocky/Rambo trick of directing and starring, Sly nabbed one of the leading roles for himself. He proved in Rambo that he’s still got the action chops.

This should be hugely entertaining / hilarious. If only Sly could get Van Damme, Seagal and other greats to get in on it. Also, I see it's billed for a 2010 release, and that's when Arnie finishes his Governatorship. Comeback, anyone?

Yeah Van Damme and Seagal would complete this team! Arnold playing a small role would be awesome too, not likely though.
