Sylvester Stallone Posts Cheeky Expendables 4 Video With Jason Statham
Sylvester Stallone has posted a cheeky new video from the set of The Expendables 4 with Jason Statham, saying that he's "leaving" the set to his co-star. Stallone created The Expendables in 2010, starring as the lead character, Barney Ross, the head of a mercenary business with a bunch of rough-and-tumble recruits that travel the globe taking on high-stakes missions for big paydays. The series was meant to be a throwback to the action films of the '80s and '90s, bringing back the stars of the era to team up from film-to-film. Thus far, The Expendables has spawned two sequels, featuring stars like Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Antonio Banderas, amongst others.
The Expendables 3 took a detour, bringing in a young cast and opting for a PG-13 rating, which caused it to be the lowest-grossing installment of the franchise. Now, the fourth entry, the aptly titled Expend4bles, seeks to reunite more of the older stars, including Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture, while recruiting new (yet polished) action stars. This includes those from Asian cinema, such as The Raid's Iko Uwais (as the main villain) and Tony Jaa. Also entering the Expendables franchise for the first time is Andy Garcia, Megan Fox, and 50 Cent.

Stallone replies, saying that Statham is "more than capable there, captain,"
