Mel Gibson to Play Villain in THE EXPENDABLES 3?

While Sylvester Stallone was setting up The Expendables 3, he asked his Twitter followers what they thought of the possibility of Mel Gibson directing the movie. For the most part, the response was positive, and a lot of people would have liked to see him do it. Stallone went on to hire Patrick Hughes to direct the movie. But that doesn't mean Gibson isn't going to be a part of it. In fact, he could end up playing the villain! 

The news comes from Showbiz411 who says, "I’m told that Gibson will appear in The Expendables 3, the third installment of Sylvester Stallone’s shoot em up series that also features his former Planet Hollywood buddies and partners Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. There’s no confirmation, but the source seemed serious."

The site goes on to say that if the rumor is true, he will play the villain, which is great! It's no secret that Mel Gibson's career has taken a hit due to his exploits, but the guy is still incredibly talented, and I hope he starts making awesome films again.
