Cameras for 'The Expendables 4' are set to roll early next year under the auspices of 'NU Images'. With this, a lot of speculations about the cast start to emerge online. According to Standart News, some of the A-list actors who might soon be part of the action saga are Kevin Costner as FBI Commissioner Jones, Denzel Washington as the US President, Vin Diesel as Frank Walker, Hugh Jackman as Hort Balto-Bowser, Liam Neeson as Hunter, and Tom Cruise as Maverick.
Rumors also suggest that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson might jump in as the newest villain. In fact, during his amusing AMA, the famous WWE wrestler turned actor told a fan who asked him if he's interested in an Expendables 4 movie, he enthusiastically answered:
"I don't want to be on their team and be buddies with them. Fuck that noise. I want to hunt every single one of them down and tell them to "send your soul to heaven cause your ass is mine," hinting screenwriters how he wanted to be written in the story.
Johnson then added that he would want to keep two Expendables members, Terry Crews who'll be his "pec popping contest" opponent and Rhonda Rousey to become his "training partner."
"The Rock" was also asked who would win between Conan The Barbarian and Hercules in a fight.
"Terminator 5" star Arnold Schwarzenegger interrupted, saying:
"I would love to do a movie with Dwayne - the Oak and the Rock - it couldn't be more perfect. Anyway, congratulations Dwayne. The movie looks fantastic and I can tell you know what's best in life. Let's get together soon and share sword stories."
To which Johnson promptly replied:
"Awesome, look forward to swappin' sword stories."
For the record, Antonio Banderas has previously hinted that the Expendables 4 is indeed going to happen.
"I ran into him in a parking lot a couple of years ago, believe it or not. We did Assassins and we kept ourselves in contact. We became friends because we had a great time doing that movie with Dick Donner. He said to me, 'Man, you have to come and you have to do something.' And I said, 'Just write something for me, but I don't wanna do a villain.' He said, 'You don't wanna do a villain?' I said, 'I don't want to just be dead and have you guys laughing at me in number 4. I wanna be a good guy,'" the "Zorro" star recounted how he ended up co-starring in Sylvester Stallone's film.
From being a WWE Superstar to one of Hollywood's main man, there is no denying that The Rock has come a very long way. Not to mention, he is the only WWE Superstar to make this tremendous leap and nobody from the industry has followed on his footsteps yet.
