Considering how the previous three Expendables movies were critically received, that’s a reasonable concern.
Going off this report, though, it sounds like Stallone has exited the Expendables world for good, so Lerner shouldn’t get his hopes up for reconciliation.
Lerner acknowledged to the outlet that although he and Stallone have had their “disagreements” in the past, he doesn’t believe their partnership is over quite yet.
According to Deadline’s sources, Stallone was worried about the “potentially underwhelming results” of another franchise he’s involved with, especially after coming off the resounding success of Creed with Michael B. Jordan.
