Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having read the IMDB synopsis for The Expendables, it looks like The Losers, but with drama. I haven't found a synopsis of The A Team that explains Jessica Biel's presence yet, but it probably makes it sound even more like The Losers. But as fun? Only time will tell.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Right! That trailer has too much drama. The A-Team at least looks fun.

You cast Rampage Jackson, you have to be aiming for fun, is my theory.

I read people complaining that the marketing stuff for The Losers sucked. Because I was such a fan of the three male leads, I was totally biased. Objectively, was it bad? I know Idris and JDM have not had to carry a big movie, but Chris Evans doesn't pull? Zoe Saldana?
Given that I basically hadn't heard of it until someone asked me if I wanted to see it? I'd say yes. Also, there's the fact that I don't recognize anyone on the above list except Saldana (and I don't think I've seen her in anything).

Yeah, I think a major problem with the marketing was the lack of it. I did see a trailer for the Losers... last summer? And it looked fun. But I only knew it was actually in theaters now from B.org.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've seen some ads on the TV, but I kept thinking Chris Evans was Freddie Prinze Junior. From 10 years ago.

Okay, I'm gonna be erika/bon bon for a moment here and say "The Wire!" You have to watch it. I fell for Idris Elba some other way...I'm not sure how or why I do that. But he's the guy on the cast list with the most unimpeachable cred.
I guess there are people on the planet who haven't seen the new Star Trek and don't watch Supernatural, but I'm not sure about their quality of life.
And I realise I totally think of Chris Evans as more famous than he is. Fantastic Four? Cellular? Push? Sunshine?

Fantastic Four is the only movie on that list that means anything to me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've seen three out of four on that list, but I doubt I could pick Chris Evans out of a lineup. If you showed me a picture of him I'd probably say "Oh yeah, that guy!"
