New faces, new cast may be seen in the team of mercenaries on a special mission in "The Expendables 4" if producer-actor Sylvester Stallone will push for the fourth instalment. It seems he's eyeing for "John Wick" actor Keanu Reeves and "Edge of Tomorrow" star Tom Cruise.
Just recently, Reeves' fans and non-fans have seen the actor in his "badass" character in his latest film. Perhaps, this makes "Rocky" actor think that he can join the team. However, it will depend on the reception and the outcome of "John Wick".
It wasn't the first time that we have seen Keanu Reeves doing action films. He already played a role of a Los Angeles SWAT officer named Jack Traven who has to speed up the bus and train in order to save the bus passengers and himself and Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock) on the train. Without telling too much of the film, we all know that the 1994-film made him known in the world of action movies.
He then also did films with action genre such as Chain Reaction (1996), Constantine (2005), and Street Kings (2008).
We don't know exactly what role will Stallone give to Reeves in case he will jump on board, but perhaps his four remarkable roles in films that brought the 50-year-old actor to stardom will give us the idea on what contribution he will offer to "The Expendables 4". His signature move in "The Matrix" trilogy may not fit in Stallone's idea of the R-rated film, but Reeves' serious facial expression may bring another spice to the film.
Perhaps Reeves will be involved in a martial arts scene with Jet Li, and another rumoured cast member Jackie Chan, showing his Kung Fu moves like he did in "The Matrix" or in his directorial debut film, "Man of Tai Chi" or using katana like he showed in "47 Ronin".
But his role in his latest film will be the closest to what Stallone is looking for in a cast member: his badass attitude and killer look in "John Wick".
Apart from Reeves, Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, and Hugh Jackman have been rumoured to be joining the cast. Their previous roles in some action films where they did stunts and had experienced acting in films showing violence became the basis of the speculation that the three big names will be part of "The Expendables 4".
The three are also in the same age group as the other cast members like Jason Statham, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, and Bruce Willis which is another basis of the rumor.
"The Expendables 4" is set to start production early next year in Bulgaria.
