Sylvester Stallone can bank on a busy few years - movie bosses are already planning to turn his upcoming movie The Expendables into a franchise.

The action man has lined up an all-star cast, including martial arts star Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham and Eric Roberts, for the forthcoming film, which revolves around a group of mercenaries who set out to overthrow a South American dictator.

The movie has yet to even produce a trailer - but that's not stopped Millennium Films' studio executives from plotting sequels to the project.

Millennium Films' Avi Lerner says, "Definitely. We already have got some ideas about Expendables number two, number three. Definitely, it's a franchise movie."

As well as starring in the movie Stallone has also penned the script and is on directing duties.

This will be Stallone's first Hollywood movie since he reprised the role of Rambo back in 2008.
