INSANE SEQUEL POSTERS: GHOST RIDER AND THE EXPENDABLES

Renn Brown, The posters of...Ghost Rider Spirit Of Vengeance and Ex 2 are...Awe-Inspiring, and All Kinds Of Awesome!  GR: SOV, is the first film I will see in...2012!  I am sure it will be...MARVELous!  Ex 2, should...Expand the action and ultraviolence, but could be a lesser yet still very good film now that Simon West replaced Stallone as Director!

Like there was ever going to be any doubt I would be looking forward to E2 but the poster is still great

EX2 (boooo! what a shitty moniker) would have been great if it didn't contain Norris' hideous, insulting to all that is human, hellbeast like, repugnant visage. I want him to die just so I can Fred Phelps the funeral.

The Ghost Rider posters are cool. 

Yeah, that Expendables 2 poster is now my desktop background....

stelios, You really don't like Norris.  Chuck Norris remains one of my favorite actors, and I am glad he is in...Expendables Too!  I hope Chuck gets his...Kicks, by serving alot of...Punch to EEEEEEEEEEvil Villains!

I'm with Stel.  There's so much badassness surrounding Norris in that image.  He's really not needed in this flick. 

Does Jet Li even appear on that poster? I know there were rumors he didn't get on well with the rest of the cast..

And.. that first GR poster is OK, but ultimately not art I'm a big fan of. Besides, those look like they're online only anyway

I'll be the lone voice of dissent. The EX2 poster is awful. If it were for any other flick, or a DTV movie, we'd be deriding for it being unimaginative and far too Photoshoppy.

The GR2 posters are BAD ASS, though. Love them.

Cool poster. Where is Li or Adkins though?

Johnny Daywalker, Apparently the EX2 poster is on the...Adkins diet.  That is why it is...Scott free!  Why...Li is absent?  Obviously, Jet, missed his flight!

I was excited for the new Ghost Rider anyway, but if they've got the stones to use those posters as their theater one-sheets, I'll watch that fucker twice.

yea, those GR posters are fucking awesome. Which sucks cause now I actually want to see what kind of madness will be wrought by Cage and Co.

Awesome posters. The EX2 one reminds me of 2000AD back in the pre-Stallone Judge Dredd era, where they'd get readers to send in drawings of the poster for their ideal Dredd film. You'd get the most insane star pairings, the kind that would've been utterly impossible in the 80s (Stallone is Dredd! Schwarzennegger is Judge Rico! Eastwood is Walter the Wobot!) That poster looks like one of those kids' imaginary posters that somehow turned into a real movie. Which was kind of the same with the first movie, but it's even moreso now.

Li isn't on the poster, presumably because he hasn't shot any footage on the film yet.  He is only participating in the China portion of the shoot, which means he likely won't be in it very much.  Supposedly he didn't want to come back at all for this one, but I guess they talked him into a glorified cameo.  Most are betting that his character dies in the first act.

See above for Li.  As for Adkins?  It blows that he isn't on this poster and DEFINITELY that his name isn't included in the rest.  Hopefully that will change by the time we get another poster and a trailer.
 

Randy Couture is absent as well, but I don't really care about them leaving him out of the group on the poster.

What I like best about the EX 2 poster is how bored even a Photoshopped Willis looks.

No specific reflection on the film, more just what remains of Bruce's interest in acting.

Thank you for the info, SD. It is a vey strange poster. Norris is front and center because of his meme fame, and his face is clearly lit. Statham is obscured and in shadow, even though he is a modern movie star of sorts, had arguably the lead role in the last film, and Norris has no proven box office power. Li is a movie star, and third billed. Yet they don't even go with an existing image of Li or fly to china to photograph him in costume to get him on this poster

Hemsworth is THOR and in the AVENGERS, and yet he's not included when people who are not even top billed cast members do appear

Not the same Hemsworth, Kate.

They grow 'em on trees in Australia, apparently.

Also, guys, I like Adkins too, but he's not there for the same reason Gary Daniels wasn't on posters for the first film.

I do hope Jeff Speakman occupies that role in EX 3

Yeah, Liam Hemsworth is in The Expendables 2..............not Chris.  They are in fact brothers though.

I suspect the Liam coverage in reference to this film will kick into gear once The Hunger Games (which Liam is one of the leads in) hits screens in March.

Jack Bauer needs to be in this.

why cant i see anything? i click all the articles but only all the  blogs but not the actual article

The EX2 poster is terribly flawed from an execution-stanpoint, and yet, instills testosteroney (a Chef Boyardee dish?) urges in me. Cool stuff.
