In the series “Terminator” he had promised: “I’ll be back”. But at some point, even action legend Arnold Schwarzenegger will have to quit. After in all 3 parts of the “the expendables‘ series, it is now clear that it is in ‘The consumers 4‘ does not come to a reunion with the ‘FUBAR’ star. In an interview with procession the old-school action hero has commented on a possible appearance in “The Expendables 4” and made it clear that he won’t be part of the expendable task force this time around:
“He’s crazy and I’m not part of it. […] I said, ‘You know what, we did this and I’m out.’ And [Stallone] really get it.”
A reappearance would have been just a repeat
According to Schwarzenegger, another cameo would have felt like the same joke was being told all over again. After all, his character has already appeared in all 3 parts of the series “The Expendables”. Still, he does not want to rule out that he will take up another joint project with Sylvester Stallone in the future:
“I got him [den ersten ‚Expendables‘-Film] made as a favor to Sly. I recorded it in a church with Bruce Willis for two hours on a Saturday. Sly said, “Oh, can you do Expendables 2?” And I did that for a weekend. Then it was expanded for ‘Expendables 3’. And that’s it. One day we will do something together again.“
Fans still don’t have to say goodbye to their action Arnie: on May 25, 2023, “FUBAR” just begins a very explosive series began, in which Arnold Schwarzenegger revives his image as an action star.
“The Expendables 4” is a passing of the baton
Perhaps it’s a good thing we’re missing Arnie in The Expendables 4, after all, the latest entry in the leaden series is something of a handover of the baton from the action generations. The role of Sylvester Stallone, the founder of the explosive task force, will be much smaller this time around, focusing instead on Jason Statham as the team’s new leader.
Surely, even without Schwarzenegger’s participation in “The Expendables 4”, which was created under the direction of “Act Of Valor” creator Scott Waugh, it will definitely work out. Whether the latest part can compete with its predecessors, we will know from September 21, 2023, when the action hit will start in our cinemas.
