Jean-Claude Van Damme was personally offered a role by Stallone, but turned it down.[3] This reportedly led to Dolph Lundgren being cast instead although it is not confirmed whether it was the same part. The role accepted by Forest Whitaker was originally conceived as a role for Wesley Snipes but later rewritten for Whitaker.[4] Due to a scheduling conflict prior to filming, Forest Whitaker was replaced by Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent) for the role of Hale Caesar.[5] He was then replaced by former NFL player Terry Crews.[6]Steven Seagal was also asked to play a cameo role, but turned down the offer due to negative connections with the producer Avi Lerner.[7] Hispanic actor Danny Trejo was rumoured to play Emmanuel, but on June 15, he revealed that he was not even cast for the role. Instead, he is currently in the works with Robert Rodriguez's Machete.On May 29, 2009, the script under went a few re-writes which ultimately excluded Brittany Murphy's character. Sandra Bullock was also rumored to have a role in the film, but revealed that she didn't even know about the project. Despite the news, she did express interests in working in another action film and would like to work in the film, it just depended on the storyline.[8]The role of the man who hires the Expendables, Mr. Church, was very difficult to cast. Initially offered to Schwarzenegger, he declined in favor of a smaller cameo in respects to his political career.[9] The role was then offered to Kurt Russell whose agent replied that he was not interested in "ensemble acting at the moment."[10] Stallone spent several months after principal photography determined to find a big action name for the part. Rumors suggested that the role had been offered to friend and fellow former Planet Hollywood co-owner Bruce Willis, who was busy filming of A Couple of d*cks. Willis finally confirmed on August 17, that he will play Mr. Church and that his scene will feature himself, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.[11]
