Mel Gibson to Play the Villain in 'Expendables 3'?

After a while, people in Hollywood need to start giving Mel Gibson a break.

Yes, we all know Hollywood is run by Jewish individuals and Mel Gibson in more recent times has been - and probably is - portrayed as an Anti-Semitic.  That in itself, pisses off big wigs all around Tinseltown.

What they seem to forget though is that the guy throughout the 80s, 90s, and even the early 2000s, was one of the biggest movie stars in the world.  There are absolutely people out there who would still pay to see his films as the guy is a great actor and even better director.

With that said, it looks like Sylvester Stallone is going to be one the guys who brings Mel Gibson back to the silver screen.

Earlier this year, Stallone had tweeted about how Gibson could possibly direct The Expendables 3, only for the job to eventually go to Red Hill director, Patrick Hughes.

Well it looks like Gibson will be involved in the project after all, with word coming that he will play the villain in the 3rd entry of the action-star franchise.  Martin Riggs himself will be joined by fellow-newcomers Nicolas Cage, Wesley Snipes, Jackie Chan, and Milla Jovovich, along with returning members from the previous films (well, those who still haven't been killed off).

I think this can be great for Gibson's career in going head-to-head with Stallone and other action legends as well as getting him back into the good graces of moviegoers.  

Now if he can only get Lethal Weapon 5 made too, I'd say the man is back.
