After the recent release of The Expendables 2, there are talks about a possible Expendables 3 (they apparently want to get Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford 😀) and some sort of all-female Expendables-type movie.
Anyway, I wanna ask you people: Who would you want to star in it?

Here are some of the actresses I would love to see doing an action movie together:
Summer Glau (Serenity)
Eliza Dushku (Dollhouse)
Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy, of course)
Zeo Bell (Death Proof, stunts in Kill Bill)
Sigourney Weaver (Alien)
Pam Grier (Jackie Brown)
 
Aimee

Great choices! That's the dream team, except I'd probably replace Eliza with Uma Thurman
Eliza Dushku
Michelle Yeoh (Hing Kong & US action films)
Michelle Rodriguez (Fast & Furious, Girlfight, Resident Evil)
Summer Glau
Gina Carano (Haywire, real-life MMA fighter)
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon)
 
I'm too lazy to come up with a long list... but I would love to see Linda Hamilton in her Terminator 2 kick ass form.

/SK
 
If your all woman Expendables team is supposed to be set up on the same premise as 1 & 2, namely a group of what should be, but aren't, over the hill bad asses,the pickings are gonna be kinda slim. There just weren't that many female action stars back then. I would guess maybe:

Segourney Weaver
Lucy Loveless
Pam Grier
Cynthia Rothrock
Lynda Carter
Linda Hamilton

and though they're a bit young for the "old bad ass" concept

Uma Thurman
Milla Jovovich
Ashley Judd

That makes 8 stars, a fairly good sized team. Certainly, Sarah, Summer, or Eliza could handle the action, as could Kristen Kreuk, Jennifer Garner, and several other fairly well known ladies, but the problem is that they're just too young to be considered middle aged or older (Chuck Norris is 72, Stallone, Lundgren, Willis, Schwarzenegger, and Van Damme are all into their 60's or older) mercenaries.

Now, if we were looking for a team of YOUNG female mercenaries:

Segourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton in roles similar to Brice and Arnold in the original movie (Those characters really need to be played by mature actors)

For the main team, the veterans:

Jennifer Gardner
Ashley Judd
Milla Jovovich

And the "young guns"

Eliza Dushku
Summer Glau
Kristin Kreuk

(for those who might note and question why Sarah is nowhere in any of my lists, I will simply say that I am holding her back to fill in the Norris slot in the sequel)
 
I'd love to see an all female Expendables cast!

I think these actresses could pull off bad ass:

Jennifer Garner
Ali Larter
Uma Thurnam
Kate Beckinsale
Milla Jovovich
Lucy Lu
Zoe Saldana
Michelle Rodriguez



These ladies would be neat to have on the cast as well, they could be the more unexpected bad ass types:

Jessica Alba
Vannessa Hudgens
Sarah Wayne Callies
Chloe Mortez
 
First one that came to mind is Lucy Lawless and Bridget Fonda. Sigourney Weaver comes to mind next and then possibly Jennifer Aniston, I'm not sure what she'd be like in that kind of movie but it could go well or just terribly bad so I'm gonna put her on my list as a wild card.
 
I can't believe no one has said Angelina Jolie! Seriously, she's pretty much been THE female action star over the last ten or 12 years. If I was making a list, it would probably look something like this, with a mix of older and younger stars:

Angelina Jolie
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Eliza Dushku
Megan Fox
Lucy Lawless
Summer Glau

I'm sure more will come to me, but I can't think of any others right now 🙂
 
Summer Glau
Sigourney Weaver
Linda Hamilton
Zoe Saldana
Michelle Rodriguez
Angelina Jolie
Amanda Tapping
Amy Acker
 
My list would be:

Milla Jovovich
Jennifer Garner
Kate Beckinsale
Eliza Dushku
Michelle Rodriguez
 
I think my ultimate cast would be:

Sarah Michelle Gellar
Eliza Dushku
Gina Torres
Laurie Holden
Kristen Bell
Kate Beckinsale
 
Oh there are so many!

My picks

Kim Bassinger
Jamie Lee Curtis
Hellen Mirren
Sigourney Weaver
Sharon Stone
Katey Sagal
Ellen Barkin
 
All I'm going to say is that they better get SMG and Eliza in this movie. 😛
 
These sort of things mostly get lists and not so much discussion. Fun idea though.
I'm not saying I'll name the best choices but they are my favourites. Not in any special order.

Summer Glau
Angelina Jole
Jessica Alba (Dark Angel anyone? Besides WA. 😉)
Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck)
Keira Knightley
Bridget Regan & Tabrett Bethell (Legend of the seeker)
Jennifer Garner (Alias)
Chloà« Moretz
Michelle Yeoh
Zhang Ziyi
Anna Torv (Fringe)
Katie McGrath (Merlin)

While I'm at it. People that most likely should be in a movie like this:
Sigourney Weaver
Kate Beckinsale
Linda Hamilton
Michelle Rodriguez
Lucy Lawless
Milla Jovovich
Maggie Q
Geena Davis (The long kiss goodnight)
Carrie-Ann Moss (Matrix)
Uma Thurman
Pam Grier

Knowing me I've most certainly forgot someone but for the moment this is it for me.
 
I called ir!

my cast would be:

Sarah Michelle Gellar
Eliza Dushku
Sandra Bullock
Julia Roberts
Angelina Jolie
Neve Campbell
Natalie Portman

Alternatives:
Jessica Alba
Kim Catrall
Charlize Theron

These women may not be known for action movies but they are all actors I really like and would like to see in a movie together 🙂

SMG, Eliza and Natalie Portman!? I'm in.
I'm with Aimee. Replace Eliza...or Sarah...with Uma, and that would be a movie I'd watch (I mean I'd watch it if they were in it, but I'd prefer Uma). Quentin Tarantino would direct. Oh that would be the best movie EVER.

Well, why should we replace anybody? 😛 We'll just add Uma Thurman to the whole bunch 🙂


And I just read that Gina Carano apparently signed on to the all-female untitled action movie. Frankly, I've never heard of her 😱
 
This is a good question! 🙂 I would have to choose:
Sarah michelle Gellar (of course)
Uma therman (definatly dont wana get on the wrong side of her)
Eliza Dushku
Kaley Cuoco (I dont know i guess shes got attitude)
Rachel Weisz
Anne Hathaway ( i thought she was the best catwomen to date)
Carrie-Anne Moss (trinity, the matrix)

Songs good to me 😀 and yeah she was in some movie...that I can't remember the name of haha

She was in Haywire directed by Steven Soderbergh. He saw her and decided she needed to be in a movie, so he got one made just for her. Granted, it turned out like a pretty poor rip off of the Bourne movies, but she was surprisingly good in it. She's also in Fast and Furious 6. Also she is an excellent legit martial artist.
