The fourth installment, 'Expend4bles', is now in theaters.
The Big Picture For over a decade, fans have been on a journey with a cast filled to the brim with action stars in the Expendables franchise. With the fourth film in the series, Expend4bles, arriving in theaters across the United States today, audiences are in for another round of butt-kicking action and quippy one-liners.
“The original Expendables was an experiment of sorts,” Weldon explains, “We didn’t know what would happen bringing all these action stars together. I mean, was that gonna be just everybody’s ego, too big to even fit on the set? Was it going to be a love fest or somewhere in between?” While the team may not have known how the stars would interact or how fans would receive the film, the first installment was a huge hit.
As the film series grew, Weldon says that the creative team better understood what audiences were looking for, “You have to let a franchise like this breathe, and you have to, in essence, expand the story.
The Introduction of New Characters Ensuring that every new character played an important part in the movies was of the utmost importance to Weldon and the rest of the production team. “Any new characters that come in, they have to contribute something to the story, and they have to contribute to some kind of refreshing, even of all the other characters in there. In a sense, for example, we could have brought somebody in, and they’re bumping heads with Jason [Statham] or doing whatever.
Weldon says that another example of giving the characters more depth by adding that refresh can also be seen in the interactions between Lundgren and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s characters. “Dolph’s character can become a little bit too low-key, if you will, but you bring someone like 50 Cent in, and now there’s some sparks flying.
