The lads at Twitch have posted this new image from The Expendables 2 giving us a look at Tu Nan as a character called Maggie..





They say not much is known about her role in the movie, but it's a safe bet that she will be putting boots to asses along with the geriatrics. Yu Nan previously appeared in The Watchowski Bros' Speed Racer.

Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time -- six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother.

I've never really seen a movie made worse by adding a sexy Asian woman to the cast. I approve!

I checked her out, Speed Racer is (pretty much) the only mainstream American movie she has made but apparently she is well known back in China. No idea of her action chops but she certainly looks fit enough!

I am so damn glad we are getting a female in this movie.
I love it!

I wish they would have gone with a more famous action star, like Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Eliza Dushku, or Lucy Lawless....
It would have mad more sense to me....With the famous male stars and all...
Oh well, I guess?

Still glad though!

@tweeeeenkies3- Hey, do you have any super hot but little known Asian actresses up your sleeve- you are the master at finding really cute obscure female actors!
Oarsis
Oarsis - 1/12/2012, 4:40 PM
And, I hate some of these sexist comments.
Come on. That is just ridiculous....Honestly, women have proven they can be better than men...And, these dinner jokes, really?

Not funny.

@headlopper...HAHA! Well, I have 3 I LOVE!
The three:

1.) Jamie Chung-She is a martial artist, and can act her tail off!

2.) Li Bingbing-Martial Artist, great actress...Kicks ass!

3.) Maggie Q.-Has studied different forms of Martial Arts all her life, LOVE her in Nikita!

@teabag- LOL!

@tweeeeenkies3- Okay, I just checked them out. I think I recognize Jamie Chung from 'Sucker-Punch', yes?

That Bing-bing chick is my favorite.

Now it's taking incredible restraint for me not to replace two vowels in Bing-Bing's name with an 'a' , and then make an insensitive comment using the said aforementioned name modification in a humorous , yet bawdy quip.

I'm proud of myself!

You're going to do it anyway, aren't you @Teabag? :)

well not to sound sexist but ugh seriously a girl? normally i wouldnt care but i thought that was the whole point of the expendables was to have all the old school badass action stars in it (even though terry crews and randy coture shouldnt have been in it). and now they are adding arnold and bruce to have bigger parts and adding jean claude van dam. and this girl isnt even a big star like at all? i would have been more at ease if they added michelle yeoh, or zhang ziyi

Stallone added Crews and Couture because of what he felt he thought that they could bring to the group I thought they all meshed well together. Love the old school feel of the movie and for all the haters f*(k off.
Oarsis
Oarsis - 1/12/2012, 5:15 PM
@headlopper...Yes, Jamie Chung was Amber in Sucker Punch!

Li Bingbing is really cute! I can't believe she is 36!
She looks so freakin' young!

odie00 - 1/12/2012, 5:19 PM
crews was awesome but randy couture was horrible in it to me. they definitely could have gone without him.

The whole premise of casting the Expendables the way they did was to bring all the big-name action stars that they could together to make a kick-ass action flick. Not sure why they would add a female who isn't a well-known star. If they were going with a woman, it would have made more sense to cast someone that is recognizable to fit in with all the guys. If they wanted to go the Asian route Michelle Yeoh would have made more sense. Heck, Maggie Q. would have made more sense.

Ranger14 - 1/12/2012, 6:10 PM
...that being said, for a rental I can handle checking her out fighting alongside the guys. :-)

I am sure the big ol' perv Stallone made her nail him for this role.

the only women that need to be in this are scantily clad and hot to look at - this is a guy's movie and I don't want to see some chick becoming "one of the guys"

Besides, they have chuck norris - what the hell do they need a chick on the team for
