Good news! At least for me. Just found out The Expendables 4 is beginning production with a 2022 release date!
Returning from the previous adventures are Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Antonio Banderas. I'll miss Terry Crews, Jet Li, and Wesley Snipes but maybe they'll sneak back in. And new cast members include Andy Garcia, Meghan Fox, and 50 Cent.
Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford Mel Gibson, and Chuck Norris appeared in one or more of the previous films but no word on whether we will see them in 4.
The Expendables are built on a solid foundation of ridiculously unrealistic action, lots of shooting and fighting, and minimal dialogue. Let's hope they can maintain the formula for success. An indication they are on the right track is every article I've found so far says the plot is unknown at this time. Since the previous movies look like they wrote the script about 30 minutes before filming began this is a good sign. Don't overthink it guys!
While promoting The Expendables 2, Stallone remarked,
"Doing a film like this is like having a dinosaur as a house pet - you know it's going to be extinct pretty soon, so enjoy it while it's here."
That still holds true.
