Or rather, the politics didn't. When we spoke to Seagal today, he said that, "some unpleasant politics" with "certain folks, not the actors" got in the way of his participation with the franchise, which may be in reference to his reportedly less-than-solid relationship with Expendables producer Avi Lerner whom the actor had worked with on several direct-to-video projects previously.
In any event, there's still a chance that we may see the '90s icon in an Expendables film after all. Have you seen The Expendables 3? YES NO. Was this article informative? In This Article. When The Expendables franchise first started in , Keanu Reeves was already a hugely respected name in action cinema from roles in movies like Speed and The Matrix trilogy.
But even then, that was before he reinvented himself yet again with the game-changing John Wick franchise. John Wick was so incredible and visceral and groundbreaking that it forced the rest of action cinema to step up its game. In fact, the only way The Expendables 4 will be able to keep up is by having the ever-committed Keanu Reeves in its cast, impressing all the stunt coordinators with his dedication.
Having officially shaken his wrestling roots, Dwayne Johnson is a prime candidate to join The Expendables franchise. Ben Sherlock is a writer, comedian, and independent filmmaker. He's currently in pre-production on his first feature, and has been for a while because filmmaking is expensive.
In the meantime, he's sitting on a mountain of unproduced screenplays. You can catch him performing standup at odd pubs around the UK that will give him stage time. That's Seagal, who explains in a new interview that he isn't likely to ever show up for that group duty. In a recent interview with The Big Issue , Seagal said he has never done an Expendables film because "I just didn't like some of the people involved. Making a movie means buddying up to many different people, and if you really have a serious aversion to one or more then life sucks for a few months.
So, interest raised.
