Screen shot 2012 01 13 at 9.05.28 AM Sly Adds Yu Nan To Expendables 2

Who?

That’s cool, I had no idea who this person was until a few minutes ago… Quite an endorsement for my own detailed blog research huh? I digress.

Anyways, yesterday a few set photos from Expendables 2 rose from the depths revealing Chinese star Yu Nan on the side of Sly and the rest of his 80′s action hero gang. There aren’t a lot of details surrounding who exactly she’s playing, but she does hang out in black espionage gear and walks around with Sly Stallone. One can only assume she’s on the side of the good guys… for now. But back to the matter at hand, who is Yu Nan? Well, unless you’re quite versed in the recent Chinese cinema, she really is coming out of nowhere. The only recognizable North American title I can with her name attached is Speedracer from back in 2008. And I’ll be honest, the only thing I remember about that flick was trying my hardest not to get nauseous because of all of the colourful spinning (DAMN YOU IMAX!!!!).

So she’s new, and in comparison to the rest of the cast of Expendables 2 like Stallone, Statham, Jet Li, Dolph, Terry Crews and Bruce Willis, she’s basically an infant. From the looks of this photo though, she’s probably going to fit right in. I don’t know if Yu Nan is going to blow up on the North American scene with this flick, but you never know, sometimes people can really steal the show. In any case, I know we can expect a lot of explosions, one-liners when other dudes die, and probably more than a few guns fired. Ah Expendables, they are becoming a thing now aren’t they?
