The Expendables 4 release date, trailer, and cast remain a guessing game to date based on the sparse details released over the social media since last year.
The names that popped out and dragged in the Expendables 4 film cast, with the exception of Sylvester Stallone and Randy Couture, ring a bell - Hugh Jackman, Jackie Chan, Kevin Costner, Denzel Washington, Liam Neeson, Vin Diesel, Mark Walhberg, Pierce Brosnan, Steven Siegal, Hulk Hogan, John Cusack, etc. The kind of Tom Cruise appearing on the film, however, is outrageous, but then, could be possible.
Wrestler Hulk Hogan's participation as one of the Expendables 4 villains seemed to show certainty as he was reported to have joined the crew in Bulgaria for the shoot. Justin Bieber, one of the magnets for the young crowd, was also rumored to take a cameo role.
Jackie Chan's martial arts prowess to provide another brand of Expendables 4 action also figured based on the interviews released last year, but on the condition that Stallone gives in to his demand of a bigger, meatier role in the movie.
The Chinese actor was quoted in saying, there are many named actors in the film and this may not be good over-all. In addition, it was reported that Chan told Stallone if they could make a movie, just the two of them.
One thing certain in Expendables 4 is that Stallone would like to make it into R-rating. He doesn't want a repeat of the ill-fated Expendables 3 because of the PG-13 which did not draw many audience. Accordingly, R-Rating means more blood and violent scenes as well as some 'human attraction'.
The drumbeaters of the Expendables 4, are so far succeeding, as far as promotional efforts are concerned. Namedropping of A-list action stars of yesteryears creates curiosity and generates feedback, making the film something to look forward to.
