'It hasn't really moved any closer to fruition,' Les Weldon says of a women-fronted Expendables.
Exped4bles is now playing in theaters, and despite director Scott Waugh's hopes for a fifth installment, this might be the last time fans see the team of action stars assemble. The fourth movie is not having the same success as the films that came before. Not only did Expend4bles have the franchise's lowest opening weekend, but it's also the lowest rated on Rotten Tomatoes, earning a harsh 13% critics score.
He continued,"And it was almost something that the schedule just happened to fall in place. And then once you kick off something that big, you understand that other actors will make themselves available. Whereas if you are starting something from scratch, it becomes difficult to get everybody's schedule and commitments and whatnot. And this franchise has been, we've been very, very lucky that actors want to get on board and will rearrange their schedule to do it.
"That was exciting because it was something where it was never supposed to be violent and it was supposed to be exactly what you said, kind of tongue in cheek," Waugh explained."And the beauty of that fight that I love the most is – you know, we talked with Alan [Ng], the fight choreographer, and kind of making it really playful and fun – but was collaborating with Jason and Megan to come up with these one-liners in the middle of the fight.
