Bruce Willis And John Malkovich Take Center Stage In Red 2 Character Posters

Red 2 Poster Willis

It's been a mixed year of franchise movies for Bruce Willis. The action star's year kicked off in February with the critically-reviled A Good Day To Die Hard, but things turned around a bit late last month when he starred as the original Joe in Jon Chu's G.I. Joe: Retaliation - a movie that perfectly fits the description "dumb but fun." Next up we'll see Red 2, and it will be interesting to see how it tilts the scales.

A brand new trailer for he comic book movie is set to arrive online this Friday, and to get you ready Yahoo! has released two brand new character posters featuring Willis and co-star John Malkovich, both of whom will be reprising their roles, as Frank Moses and Marvin Boggs, respectively, from the 2010 action comedy. Presumably we'll see more posters as the week roles on, but for now you can scope them out above and below.

Directed by Dean Parisot, best known for helming Galaxy Quest and Fun With Dick and Jane, the sequel will not only feature the return of Willis and Malkovich, but also Mary-Louise Parker, and Helen Mirren. New additions to the all-star cast include Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Byung-hun Lee (who just starred with Willis in G.I. Joe), Neal McDonough, and David Thewlis. The movie won't be in theaters until July 19th, but be sure to come back later this week for the new preview, and, in the meantime, you can watch the previously released trailer below.
