If I was making it, it would have been different. The Expendables 2 finale is set in an airport, and the production took time out to film a brief cameo where Novak Djokovic picks up his racket to wack terrorists. Said terrorists - despite wielding automatic weapons - obligingly walk right up to Djokovic so he can smack them in the face. It's a goofy little scene that was cut from the sequel, but Adkins revealed that the half-day it took to shoot this silly cameo came out of the two days allotted to the fight between Hector and Christmas.
It sounds like this Expendables 2 battle was already squeezed for time, so losing part of their filming time no doubt contributed to the whole scene feeling a little sloppy.
If there's any justice, the upcoming Expendables 4 will cast Scott Adkins as either Hector's evil er twin or another character entirely and give him a proper battle with Jason Statham , though there's no sign of that happening currently. A part-time hobby soon blossomed into a career when he discovered he really loved writing about movies, TV and video games — he even arguably had a little bit of talent for it.
He has written words for Den of Geek, Collider, The Irish Times and Screen Rant over the years, and can discuss anything from the MCU - where Hawkeye is clearly the best character - to the most obscure cult b-movie gem, and his hot takes often require heat resistant gloves to handle.

But how many active players in those sports have a role in a movie alongside Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, and every other major action star from the last 30 years? Novak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis player who has been ranked number 1 in the world since early July, apparently has a role in The Expendables 2 , according to Deadline. If you're worried about about his ability to perform as another person, however, let me quell your fears: Djokovic will be playing himself he's also known as quite the showman on the court, as well.
He was invited to be in the film by producer Avi Lerner and is already in Bulgaria, where the movie is currently shooting. What I find funny about this is that Djokovic won't be the first professional athlete to join the cast of an Expendables movie. Couture used to be an MMA fighter, Steve Austin who won't be in the sequel was a former wrestler, and Crews played in the NFL for four seasons not to mention the martial arts experience that just about every other member of the cast has.
Djokovic should be right at home. NJ native who calls LA home; lives in a Dreamatorium. Eric Eisenberg.
