And now it has been deconfirmed! Sigh.

Nicolas Cage ‘Expendables 3′ Reports False, Says Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone says he “has no knowledge of Nic Cage joining Expendables 3,” the actor told Deadline today, and that reports of negotiations for the Oscar winner to join the latest film in the action franchise are false. Several news outlets reported yesterday that Stallone had confirmed Cage for the next Expendables movie, citing either a Stallone fan Facebook page purporting to be the actor’s own or comments by Stallone that appeared in Spanish daily El Pais earlier this year. In the El Pais article, Cage’s name — as well as that of Mickey Rourke, who was in the first Expendables, Harrison Ford and Wesley Snipes — were noted as additions to a third Expendables. Those statements were made during European junkets this summer for Expendables 2, when Stallone was asked at a press conference who he would like to see in a possible second sequel. Although the Cage rumors are untrue, what is a fact is that Expendables 3 is in the offering. NuImage/Millennium Films has been selling  international distribution rights at AFM this past week.

This article confirmes, what Flo said in one of his earlier posts:

Scroll down to Nr. 4!

I think that the twitter account was a false one and so it seems Stallone was misquoted. Too bad, but I am still hopeful that Nic may yet appear in the next one.

NICOLAS CAGE SHOULD BE THE VILLAIN

We just need to see. Rotten Tomatoes put up Frank or Francis and Amicus, those movies came out of nowhere. I thought Frank or Francis was delayed anyway, or not even started yet   

You're right, I agree. I'd love to see him in any role. I saw a fake front cover that has the heroes on top and Nicolas on the bottom. I immediately thought: VILLAIN 

Nic dispells all the rumours, no involvement so far and he says it is highly unlikely he will be in it. Pity.

Nicolas Cage has strongly dispelled rumours that he'll be in the next instalment in the 'Expendables' action movies.

After being rumoured to be joining the Expendables 3 cast, Knowing actor Nicolas Cage has shot down such murmurings in an interview with Den of Geek putting it plainly that he'd had no involvement so far: "I have not had any formal discussions about that movie," he said referring to Expendables. "I'm not in Kick-Ass 2 and I don't think I'm in Expendables 3. And I like those guys, but I would say it would be highly unlikely that I'd be in that movie," he added, destroying another fervent internet rumour while he was at it.
