It was an open secret, but after a few weeks of rumors and clues, the folks at Lionsgate and Millennium Media have confirmed that the fourth installment in the ‘Mercenaries’ saga is already in development; and with the announcement the first names that will be part of the actioner which, on this occasion, will be directed by the specialist turned director Scott waugh “Act of Valor,” “Need for Speed”.
Back to the ring
For the occasion, veterans of the franchise like Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Coture and Sylvester Stallone —The life of the party and the engine of the project since its inception— will once again take on the role of Lee Christmas, Gunner Jensen, Toll Road and Barney Ross. But this is not all, because the sarao will be joined by three new, most attractive faces.
These are none other than those of Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent —Who has already demonstrated his surprising acting skills in titles such as ‘Game of Thieves’ or ‘Redemption’ -; Megan fox and a Tony jaa that promises a new Muay Thai recital like the one he already offered us in the ‘Ong Bak’ saga or in the huge ‘SPL 2’. Without a doubt, a round signing for a title of these characteristics.
‘The Expendables 4’ will begin shooting this fall from a script by Spenser Cohen -‘Extinction’-. Now it only remains to know if it will be at the height of its predecessors, not only in terms of action, but also in the box office results; And it is that, until now, Stallone’s Expendables have easily exceeded their initial investment in each of their cinematographic adventures, adding a total of $ 804 million on a total budget of 280.
