Sylvester Stallone to Reassemble Team for Expendables 4

The action stars of the Expendables series are heading back for one more mission. It has been reported that a fourth movie in the Sylvester Stallone-starring action franchise is in the the works.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will be the final part of the series and is set for a 2018 release. No further details have been revealed, but it is expected that Stallone, who also produces the series and directed the first movie, will reteam with fellow action stars Jason Statham and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Other actors who have appeared in previous episodes have included Dolph Lungren, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mel Gibson, Terry Crews, Jet Li, and Wesley Snipes.

The first Expendables was released in 2010, and made $315 million at the worldwide box office. While the next two parts weren't as big, they still made $274 million and $214 million respectively.

In 2014, Stallone was critical of the decision to release Expendables 3 with a PG-13 rating rather than the R that the previous movies had carried.

"Absolutely unequivocally yes," he told Crave Online when asked if the lower rating was a mistake. "I believe it was a horrible miscalculation on everyone's part in trying to reach a wider audience, but in doing such, diminish the violence that the audience expects. I'm quite certain it won't happen again."
