Your fantasy casting for a Female 'The Expendables' film

We all know The Expendables films with ye old male action heroes still thinking they're hard badasses (well, Harrison Ford still is. The man owned every scene he was in. The scene in Expendables 3 where he got in Stallone's face? Ford was the most intimidating of the two. Jones owns Rambo on his best day). Well, it's the women's turn! The best thing about a female Expendables movie is knowing that most action actresses weren't obnoxious. So, even with some of them being in their 50s and 60s, they can still pull off badassery, mixed with their beauty and grace.

This thread will provide your insight on who should be cast in a female Expendables film. List the actresses you believe are suited to an action movie featuring them all. Not only that, what would their roles be and what would the film center around? IMO, a movie like this needs to stay within the realms of simplicity. There's no need for a movie like this to be a work of art (none of the current Expendables movies were). Like it's male counterpart, it should be a tongue-in-cheek, action adventure movie with a ton of one-liners.

So without further ado, here is my cast for The Expendables: The Female Edition. I'll include the films and TV series they're famous for below each name. These movies/shows are the reason they're cast in *my* vision of the film.


In my next post, I'll be giving detailed reasons behind my casting choices, including shots of each woman in their most iconic roles to give you a feel of what their character would be like.  

 Discuss, share and direct!
