The Expendables 2

Lionsgate recently announced that The Expendables 2 would be hitting theaters on August 17th, 2012. But at Cannes, the artwork was revealed, and now Nu Image has announced the storyline. Stay tuned after the jump because the synopsis is very spoilerific.

The Expendables are back and this time it's personal! After Tool (Mickey Rourke), the heart and soul of the Expendables, is brutally murdered on a mission, his comrades swear to avenge him. They're not the only ones who want blood. Tool’s beautiful young and wild daughter Fiona embarks on her own revenge mission, complicating matters when she is captured and ransomed by a ruthless dictator plotting to destroy a resistance movement. Now Barney and the Expendables must risk everything to save her and humanity.

I enjoyed the original, so I'll keep my eye out for this. The original wasn't the perfect film, but was everything I expected and was pretty fun. What do you feel about it? Mickey Rourke's character dying annoying you? A sequel for the Expendables something you can't wait for? Let us know via comments/the forums!
