Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li are teaming up as a bunch of mercenaries in “The Expendables.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the three men take on the mission to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its dictator to free the population.

Stallone is directing his own script. The action star most recently helmed the fourth installment in the “Rambo” series.

We don’t know much more about the project at this stage, but it’s quite easy to predict what we’re up against: a bloody brutal action thriller with a brainless story and non-stop gunfights.

Statham will next be seen in “Transporter 3,” followed by “Crank 2: High Voltage.” As for Li, he most recently starred in “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.”

And as you may have heard already, Stallone is also working on “Rambo V.”
