Having three former wrestling superstars, a former James Bond actor, John Cusack, and even Steven Seagal in the movie may have some semblance of truth to it but everything remains as speculation at this time pending the confirmation from the producers or the lead stars of “The Expendables 4.”
Sometime in the fourth quarter of last year, it has already been reported that production companies Nu Image and Millennium had already made pre-sale distribution deals of “The Expendables 4” in China.
It seems that the producers have picked up a neat lesson from the disaster experienced by “The Expendables 3” so they are keeping everything about “The Expendables 4” under wraps just to be on the safe side.
The rumors about Stallone not returning for “The Expendables 4” also came about because the information about the movie were few and far in between. At that point, Stallone was making the headlines because of his nomination from the Academy Awards.
So putting two in two together, some came out with the idea that if he wins the Oscars, he would then focus more on “Creed 2” rather than “The Expendables 4,” thus the reports came out saying that he would take a backseat in the action ensemble franchise.
However, action movie critics believe that those were nothing but empty rumors because they know that even Sylvester Stallone is aware that if his character is not in the movie, The Expendables as a band of mercenaries is no longer complete.
