Who looks most bored on the new poster for The Expendables 2?

I dug The Expendables and chances are I'll enjoy The Expendables 2 for the same reason: because watching a group of old-age pensioners creak around a film set out-running explosions and fighting off the Grim Reaper is exactly as fun as it sounds. Here's the final theatrical poster, with its full line-up of hunks on show, minus that woman who accidentally found her way onto the first one. Take a hike, lady!

Hmm. Something is wrong here. Very wrong. Why is everyone looking so mardy? This is The Expendables 2, not Grumpy Old Men: The Movie. Either there was a chronic outbreak of existential ennui on the set, or no one involved could muster the energy to look even a little badass for the poster. Let's take a closer look to see who's the most disinterested.
![]() Sylvester Stallone is the Expendables ringleader but looks bored out of his skull; either that or he's longing for the sweet release of death. | ![]() | ![]() Arnold Schwarzenegger looks a little put out, like he senses that somewhere, there's a hired help who's not being pity-banged. | ![]() | ![]() Jason Statham has tried a tough guy stare but sailed past 'stern' and landed on 'confusion at maths'. Taught at the Joey school of acting. |

![]() Jet Li has been pushed all the way out to the far left of the poster and as such, his attention has strayed to the craft services table. | ![]() | ![]() Dolph Lundgren, disinterested in the poster shoot, has taken to checking his own reflection in his giant knife. Looking good, D-Man. | ![]() | ![]() Bruce Willis is clearly thinking about the cheese sandwich he's going to eat the shit out of later. He's tired. And hungry. Also it's hot in here. |

![]() Chuck Norris can't hide his disdain at being relegated to bit-part player. In a rage on his way home, he'll ruin three gay marriages. | ![]() | ![]() Liam Hemsworth is standing so far away, it's impossible to interpret his expression from this small clump of pixels. Maybe he's horny. | ![]() | ![]() Terry Crews gets it. Muscle the fuck up, says Terry. Is this an action movie or ain't it, says Terry. Clench hard, says Terry. I pooped, says Terry. |

![]() Also Van Damme is wearing sunglasses to stop us from seeing him rolling his eyes. He's been in more flaming posters than we've had hot meals. | ![]() | ![]() Randy Couture is just struggling with the day to day right now. He feels... empty, y'know? Hollow. Like there's nothing out there. Poor Randy. | ![]() | ![]() The plane is at least showing signs of life by having one of its wings explode. "Whatever, no biggie, I'll just fly it off," it seems to say. |
Stallone wins on points. Even his big veiny penis arms look limp.
