For Stallone “it is the first time” that he has visited Marbella and he explained that he would love to “make a film here” continuting, “It is a privilege to be here. I had never been before, it’s a very nice place and I love the warmth in the atmosphere and the beautiful people.”

On the other hand, Antonio Banderas is no stranger to the area, having been born in Málaga, and owns several properties along the Coast.

The third installment in the film franchise is due to be released in cinemas on August 14 in Spain and centres around the familiar characters,Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team who come face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney.

The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet.
