In a recent ''[[Total Film]]'' article, Willis is quoted as saying that "Even [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] who took two bullets in the last film, he's coming back, too." Willis continued, "I talked to Sly and he's going for all the marbles this time, and he's going to get everybody in this time."<ref name=totalfilm>{{cite web |

Since his term as governor of California has ended, much speculation has appeared on the internet over Arnold Schwarzenegger's involvement with the sequel. Stallone has mentioned his hope to get Schwarzenegger back for a "key role" in the sequel: "If this works, I would love to get him in the next one."<ref name=schwarzenegger>{{cite web |

[[Sheldon Lettich]] recently said that [[Jean-Claude Van Damme]] would likely appear in the film. Lettich also believes that [[Steven Seagal]] would decline an appearance if asked, as [[Avi Lerner]] will reportedly return to produce. Many articles quoting Lettich incorrectly or deliberately combined two separate sentences so it would appear that Van Damme did not want Seagal involved in the film.<ref name=lettich>{{cite web |
