The last three films saw Sylvester Stallone as Barney Ross, backstopped by Jason Statham as Lee Christmas, as the obvious leaders of The Expendables. While there are plenty of big-name action stars in the movie, it is obvious that Sly calls the shots and that is likely to remain in “The Expendables 4,” note the critics.
“The Expendables” movie franchise is Stallone’s baby and he took the effort to bring other action stars onboard as the series continued and that is why it has become a great action franchise that it is now.
The not-so-good performance of “The Expendables 3” in the box-office happened because when it hit theaters in 2014, a pirated version of the film already came out online thus causing a negative impact on the movie’s ticket sales.
According to a source close to the “Rambo” actor, at his age, Sylvester Stallone has done it all as an actor and action star so he just wants to make movies that people could remember him by. An award or two there are just bonuses because for him, the important thing now is to be able to make people enjoy his movies. And he can do that by being in the film and not out of it, the source adds.
