Exclusive Insight: The Surprising Reason for Sylvester Stallone’s Minimal Presence in ‘Expendables 4’

  • Sylvester Stallone, the co-creator of the “Expendables” franchise, has a small role in the fourth movie.
  • Initially, Stallone was not planning to be in the movie and announced it would be his final appearance in the franchise.
  • Jason Statham, Stallone’s co-star, expressed his dissatisfaction with Stallone’s limited screen time.

Sylvester Stallone’s final appearance in the “Expendables” franchise is a small role in “Expend4bles,” the fourth movie in the series.

In the previous movies, Stallone’s character, Barney Ross, had a prominent role and Stallone was involved as a co-writer and director.

However, fans were surprised to find that Stallone had very limited screen time in “Expend4bles.”

This departure from the franchise has been planned for some time.

Stallone’s Almost Absence in ‘Expend4bles’

Sylvester Stallone co-created the “Expendables” franchise in 2010, alongside screenwriter David Callaham. The movies featured Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, and Bruce Willis as an elite mercenary team.

The franchise has been successful at the box office, with the first two movies grossing over $270 million and $314 million worldwide, respectively.

However, the third installment, released in 2014, did not perform as well, making $215 million worldwide on a $100 million budget.

Stallone left the franchise in 2017 due to creative differences but returned for the fourth movie in 2018. However, his role in “Expend4bles” is not as prominent as before.
