As it turns out, the Expendables franchise isn’t expendable at all.
As The Expendables found a larger audience, however, franchise shepherd Sylvester Stallone kept recruiting ridiculously famous friends to co-star, to the point where Wesley Snipes, Mel Gibson, and Harrison Ford appeared in The Expendables 3.
The running joke of the durable action franchise happens to be that the classic silver-screen legends are going to live through a guns-blazing thriller, but that some of them might not make it to the end credits.
Some of the gang is going to get back together for the just-confirmed fourth Expendables movie, which doesn’t have a title, but now reveals its director and cast.
