Plot 0f The Expendables:
The Expendables—leader Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), knives specialist Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), hand-to-hand combat specialist Yin Yang (Jet Li), heavy weapons specialist Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), demolitions expert Toll Road (Randy Couture), the unstable Gunner Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), and sniper Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth), the team's newest recruit and Ross' protegée—are deployed to Nepal to rescue a Chinese businessman. There, they also rescue the captured mercenary Trench (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Ross' rival. Yang parts with the group to escort the businessman back to China.
After returning to New York City, Billy tells Ross that he intends to retire by the end of the month to live in France with his girlfriend Sophia, and Ross accepts his decision. Later, Ross is forced to accept a mission from CIA operative Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) to retrieve an item from a safe in an airplane that was shot down in Albania. Church sends technical expert Maggie Chan (Yu Nan) with the team to crack the safe. In Albania, the mercenaries successfully retrieve the item, but are then ambushed by international criminal and arms dealer Jean Vilain (Jean-Claude Van Damme), his right-hand man Hector (Scott Adkins) and his mercenary group, the Sangs, who have captured Billy. Vilain demands the Expendables' weapons and the item in exchange for Billy's life. The team surrenders the item, but Vilain roundhouse kicks a knife through Billy's heart and flees with the Sangs by helicopter. Ross recovers a note for Sophia from Billy's body, and the team buries their fallen comrade, swearing revenge on Vilain.

The leader of the Expendables. Stallone insisted on performing his own stunts, ignoring the advice of his doctor following several surgeries to repair a neck injury and broken back he had received while filming The Expendables.

Jet Li as Yin Yang:
The Expendables' hand-to-hand combat expert.
Dolph Lundgren as Gunner Jensen:
A volatile member of the Expendables, nearly undone by years of combat stress and alcohol abuse.Lundgren's personal history including his chemical engineering degree were integrated into the character's story by Stallone. Lundgren had been hesitant to participate in the film based on the first script draft, but rewrites and additional content for his character altered his stance.
Chuck Norris as Booker:
A retired military operative on a mission to save his old teammates. The character's name is a homage to the 1978 action film Good Guys Wear Black in which Norris portrays the character John T. Booker.During the film, Booker claims to have been bitten by a cobra which subsequently died; a reference to Chuck Norris facts, satirical factoids about the actor.[citation needed]
Jean-Claude Van Damme as Jean Vilain:
The leader of an opposing team of mercenaries known as the Sangs, and a former member of the French Foreign Legion. Van Damme had previously been offered a role in The Expendables but failed to come to an agreement with Stallone and ultimately never took part.Van Damme was intentionally distant from the cast and crew during filming to stay in character. Commenting on the role, Stallone said: "We’ll have a big showdown between me and Van Damme, which has been anticipated for a long time, so it should be a good one."
Bruce Willis as Mr. Church:
A secretive CIA agent. In late August 2010, Stallone stated his interest in having Willis return for a role in the sequel – expanding upon his brief cameo in the original – potentially as a "super villain". Willis was confirmed to be involved in a "substantial" role on September 6, 2011. Commenting on the film, Willis said: "Hopefully, they'll start shooting it while we're young enough to survive."
Arnold Schwarzenegger as Trench:
Ross' arch-rival and occasional ally. Stallone noted his intention to have Schwarzenegger return for a sequel before the release of The Expendables, stating: "If this works, I would love to get him in the next one".

Terry Crews as Hale Caesar:
The Expendables' barrel-weapons specialist.

A former military sniper disenchanted after serving in Afghanistan.Hemsworth was confirmed for the role on September 19, 2011. Hemsworth had been cast in the previous film in a similar role as a different character,but his role was ultimately written out of the script. Stallone remained in contact with Hemsworth and offered him a role in the sequel when production moved forward. Stallone described the character as the next generation of The Expendables who is not as "cynical as the other team members".
Scott Adkins as Hector:
Vilain's right hand man, also a former Legionnaire. Adkins had also been offered a role in the original film, but turned it down for Undisputed III: Redemption.
