Bruce Willis looks badass in The Expendables 2 character poster

The Expendables 2 has debuted a glut of new posters, featuring the brawniest ensemble of musclebound tough guys since, er, The Expendables .

Bruce Willis leads the charge in our UK exclusive, but all 12 of the film's key players have had an individual poster dedicated to them, with many a big gun on show. Jean-Claude Van Damme is the exception, favouring a knife instead of a firearm. Hey, it takes all sorts.

Indeed, Stallone isn't packing a weapon at all. Since this is his party, perhaps he just wants to sit back and enjoy the happy reunion. Or maybe he just backs himself with his fists.

Besides Bruce, our favourite is possibly the Dolph Lundgren one (a brilliant sneer on the part of the big man), but it's also nice to see Liam Hemsworth finally included in the promotional material, and it's been far too long since Arnie had his own poster.

The Expendables 2 opens in the UK on 17 August 2012. In the meantime, you can browse through the entire range of posters below...
