Crank 3 and The Expendables 2, two films that we’d live to see made sometime soon!

While on promotional duties for his next action blockbuster The Mechanic Jason Statham caught up with Collider to discuss just what he thinks about said sequels.

When quizzed about the status of a possible Crank 3, Statham said: “It’s a shame the last one didn’t do that well. I think the first one had a little bit more success and usually if you do a sequel, it usually has to in some ways take a little bit more money than the first one.”

“It was absolutely nuts, which reflects exactly who those two [directors Neveldine and Taylor] are. I don’t know, whether we’ll do another one… Who knows?”

“Working with those two guys is not like working with anybody else. I mean, they are absolutely mad as hatters.”

Next up Statham was more than open to a phone call from Sly Stallone about the possibility of teaming up for another testosterone fueled action rampage in a sequel to the ever popular The Expendables: “Yes I have heard about a sequel and I’d be the first to say yes to a phone call from Sly.”

“I mean, we spoke about it as soon as the movie started to do really well and he says, you know, it would be great to do this again, and if there’s anyone who can do a good sequel it’s Sly Stallone! He’s done a fair amount.”

“Yeah, we had a good time. It’s something I’d like to repeat… I’m very positive that it will be going.”

So it seems there’s no chance of The Stath slowing down on the action man front.

The Crank movies were hard core off the planet action flicks, and we hope Neveldine and Taylor can muster up enough creativity to do a third.

The Expendables was all about capturing every action star on the planet, and while the plot was sketchy at best it was a huge hit with fans of the genre.

We there fore expect the sequel to be made and go one better than the original.
