Following the news that Arnold Schwarzenegger would begin filming “The Expendables 2″, the first photos of Arnie on the set of the upcoming flick have been posted over on Global Arnold.

They’re nothing terribly exciting. Just him in the make-up room posing with the Bulgarian President and the Nu Boyana owners/movie producers, but you get the idea. Until some new stuff comes in of him kicking some sort of bad guy ass, enjoy these pics of him with blood on his face and smiling like the world is all sunshine and rainbows.

Global Arnold has also posted a video, which if you understand a lick of what they’re saying, more power to you. The video can be viewed at the link posted up top.
