Statham excited about Stallone reunion

Los Angeles - Jason Statham can't wait to work with Sylvester Stallone again.

The 44-year-old actor first teamed up with the action star to make last year's The Expendables and with The Expendables 2 set to start filming in Bulgaria in two weeks, Jason is looking forward to reuniting with the Hollywood legend.

He told Collider.com: "Yeah, yeah Sly and the motley crew are gonna get together and I've been invited to the party, and I wanna go there. I had such a great time with Sly, he's a man I'm very happy to work with again.

Rumoured co-star

"We start in two weeks time. Literally, I'm gonna go from one - I'm making a movie with Taylor Hackford in New Orleans called Parker - I'm going straight from there to Bulgaria. That's where we're at, Expendables 2 [in] Bulgaria."

Although stars of the first film including Dolph Lundgren and Mickey Rourke have been confirmed for the sequel, Jason refused to reveal if rumoured co-star John Travolta will be joining the line-up.

He said: "It's not a secret, but the confirmation of who's in it I can't give you. But every name in the book has been bandied around, I mean there's no one out there that hasn't done great action along the course of their career that hasn't been at some point mentioned as being in the film, so who the f**k knows?"
