Of Course Gina Carano Added to Female 'Expendables' Thing

Surprising none of the many who immediately mentioned Gina Carano as an obvious choice for Adi Shankar's all-female take on The Expendables, the Haywire star and former MMA fighter has become the first to join that still-untitled action ensemble film.

Speaking to Variety, Shankar no doubt broke Cynthia Rothrock's heart in praising Carano as the most vital element for his movie to go forward. Then he started drawing some comparisons that quickly revealed his lacking knowledge of sugary treats, saying:

"I don't know how I'm supposed to make a movie that is supposed to be the female version of 'The Expendables' without Gina Carano in it. It would be like making Twix without caramel or Jamba Juice without jamba."

So, like a Twix PB? Or like every Jamba Juice, because "jamba" isn't actually a thing? Either way, Carano is going to be in the thing, so we don't have to worry about it now. What we do still have to worry about is a title, so start thinking, everyone. The Impregnables? Cervical Cell?
