Sylvester Stallone directed the first Expendables movie and co-wrote the script with Dave Callaham, while starring as Expendables leader Barney Ross.
Sylvester Stallone is now leaving the Expendables franchise he helped create, backing away from starring in Expendables 4, despite what would reportedly be the biggest payday of his career.
The Expendables 3 earned a franchise low $39.3 million domestically and $175.3 million internationally for a worldwide total of $214.6 million.
Still, producer Avi Lerner revealed that he doesn’t think Sylvester Stallone is leaving quite yet, so there may still be hope for the actor’s return.
