In an interview with Den of Geek, Chan explained his disappearance on the movie's third sequel, "This morning I did hear - the office called - Sly [Stallone] wants me for 'Expendables 4.' I said, 'Okay.' Because they already asked me to be in two and three, but I refused. Well, I didn't refuse, but I said, 'Sly, can't we just do you and me? Not just a bunch of people and me only coming out for five minutes.' Because then the audience is, 'Oh!' And then I'm gone."
According to Stallone, they plan on adding more celebrities from around the world and not just Americans. The star cast will be international and hence appeal to a global audience at a personal level.
"We always wanted to work with Jackie, but due to a shortage of central roles, an arrangement could not be made. However, in the upcoming installment, we will surely try to bring him on board. For The Expendables 4, we are trying to reduce the number of stars and increase their individual screen time. Let's see how that goes!" Stallone said.
Besides the leak of Expendables 3 before its arrival on theaters in August 2015, many are still wanting to see more on The Expendables 4.
