Schwarzenegger’s back to meet fans with ‘Expendables 2’ at Comic-Con

SAN DIEGO – Could there be any doubt over what the first two words would be out of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mouth at Comic-Con?

“I’m back,” said the former California governor, who has leaped back to acting with a series of upcoming action roles including “The Expendables 2,” which Schwarzenegger came to promote at the fan convention.

Schwarzenegger joined fellow stars Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews and Randy Couture on a panel to preview footage for Comic-Con.

Quoting his famous line from the “Terminator” films, Schwarzenegger said that after eight years away from action films while governor, he took ribbing from his co-stars on the first day of shooting about whether he still knew how to load a gun or throw a punch.

“The Expendables 2” arrives in theatres in Aug. 17.
