Jackie Chan to Join Cast of Expendables 3

This may come off as a surprise, not because Jackie Chan doesn't belong in the action icon-heavy cast of The Expendables, but because the actor has already stated in the past that he's already retiring from action and stunt-heavy work due to his age. But the action legend has recently confirmed his involvement with The Expendables 3.

Jackie Chan confirmed the news at a press conference for CZ12 (Chinese Zodiac) in Kuala Lumpur. Chan also clarified why he turned down the invitation to join Expendables 2, explaining that he was simply too busy with the filming of CZ12:

"But [Sly] did extend his invitation to the third movie, which I agreed on the condition that I will be appearing as more than just a minor role with a few scenes."
