Arnold Schwarzenegger Isn’t Involved With Expendables 4
Arnold Schwarzeneggerย recently revealedย that he will not appear in the upcoming fourth film in the Expendables franchise. In a recent interview, Schwarzenegger said that he spoke with Sylvester Stallone, and he understood why the actor didn’t want to return.
“It’s done and I’m not in it,” Schwarzenegger previously revealed.ย “I said, ‘You know what, we have done this and I’m out of it.’ And [Stallone] really understood. I did [the first Expendables] as a favor to Sly. I shot it on a Saturday for two hours quickly in a church with Bruce Willis. Sly said, ‘Oh, can you do Expendables 2?’ and I did that for a weekend. Then it was expanded forย Expendables 3. And that was it. We’re going to do something together one day.”
What isย Expendables 4ย About?
Here’s how Lionsgate describes the film: “A new generation of stars join the world’s top action stars for an adrenaline-fueled adventure inย Expend4bles. Reuniting as the team of elite mercenaries, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Sylvester Stallone are joined for the first time by Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson, Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, and Andy Garcia,” the film’s synopsis reads. “Armed with every weapon they can get their hands on and the skills to use them, The Expendables are the world’s last line of defense and the team that gets called when all other options are off the table. But new team members with new styles and tactics are going to give ‘new blood’ a whole new meaning.”ย
Expendables 4ย is set to hit theaters on September 22nd. Stay tuned to ComicBook.com for more updates on the franchise as we learn it!
