The Expendables franchise has gathered together some of the greatest action stars, but several of them exited the series as it evolved.
The Expendables lineup has changed many times through the series, but which actors decided to step away? Sylvester Stallone has always had good luck when it comes to crafting franchises for himself. With The Expendables movies, he hit upon the simple notion of gathering together action stars from different eras and pairing them for one movie.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Expendables 4 will also mark a passing of the guard. Stallone stepped back from the sequel creatively, while his character Barney will play a much smaller role. Jason Statham's Christmas will instead step up as the new franchise lead, though the door is presumably open for Stallone to make future appearances. If Expendables 5 does happen, it would be odd not to see Barney turn up.
Bruce Willis The original Expendables featured the long-awaited union of Stallone, Arnie and Bruce Willis on the big screen. Willis played Mr. Church in the first two outings, a menacing CIA agent who recruits Barney's team for dangerous missions. Church got more involved in the action for Expendables 2, but while the character was set to return for the third movie, Willis eventually passed.
While Stallone didn't mention Willis by name, the tweet was seen as a jab at his former co-star. The Expendables 3 replaced Bruce Willis with Harrison Ford's Drummer, who states in his opening scene that "Church is out of the picture." Had Willis returned, it's likely his role would have mirrored that of Drummer in the final film, who recruits Barney to chase after Mel Gibson's arms dealer.
Terry Crews Many actors were considered for the Hale Caesar role in The Expendables, including Wesley Snipes and 50 Cent. While Caesar was never a major character, Terry Crews brought a genuine charisma to the part. The character was set to die in Expendables 3 - which almost cast Jack Nicholson - but Crews "begged" Stallone to keep the character alive.
