As you all probably, there’s a female Expendables movie in the works, which has cast Gina Carano and, over the weekend, added Katee Sackhoff (both brilliant choices). I think it’s great that there’ll be a female equivalent to The Expendables, but then again, one must also consider that intelligence is far more powerful than brawn. If you were to put a team of geeks together, they’d kick 20 Jason Statham asses before he even made it to the front door. You don’t need a machine gun or martial arts skills if you have a few computers, some science geeks, some schematics experts, and a few gadgets. Technology will beat muscle every time.

Now, if I were to cast a Geek Expendables, it’d look something like this:

David Tennant — Captain of the Expendageeks

Alan Tudyk — Navigator

Ben Whishaw — Gadgetry

Wil Wheaton — Black Ops

Christopher Mintz-Plasse — The Con Man

Simon Pegg — Intelligence Super Agent

Mae Whitman — Medic

Kevin Smith — Senior Liason

Aisha Tyler — Conspiracy Investigator

Craig Ferguson — Communications Director

Danica McKellar — Physics

Jesse Eisenberg — Information Technology

Felicia Day — The Sexpot

Michael Cera — Boy Genius Supervillain

Jay Baruchel — The Muscle
