A new motion poster and three TV spots have been released for "The Expendables 3". Not much can be said about the sequel, except that it's going to feature an amazing cast of action stars and that it's going to attempt to top everything that's been done before in the franchise, but that's to be expected from any new installment.
What's interesting is that it was announced that the film will be rated PG-13 instead of R like the first two films. While the decision to slow down the violence is odd for this particular franchise, I'm not worried. "The Dark Knight" is often quoted as being the most violent PG-13 movie ever, and it's true that it managed to get away with a lot of brutal stuff, so I expect that "The Expendables 3" shouldn't have any problems displaying copious amounts of the rough stuff. Here is the full MPAA rating : "PG-13 for violence including intense sustained gun battles and fight scenes, and for language". There you go. It's definitely going to be violent and intense.
The sequel is directed by Patrick Hughes ("Red Hill") and it stars Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kelsey Grammer, Antonio Banderas, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey, Victor Ortiz and Glen Powell

Official Synopsis
"In THE EXPENDABLES 3, Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables — but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet."
