Jason Statham Reveals Which Action Icon He Would Love To See Join The Expendables

by

As a die-hard fan of action movies and martial arts cinema, I can wholeheartedly appreciate the excitement surrounding the potential addition of Jackie Chan to the illustrious roster of The Expendables. With a career spanning over five decades, Chan has demonstrated his unparalleled skill in performing death-defying stunts and delivering entertaining action sequences that have captivated audiences worldwide.

Ever since 2010’s debut of The Expendables, it has been an action-packed extravaganza featuring some of the most iconic stars. However, there’s one notable absence that I think would be a fantastic addition to the team. That star is none other than Jackie Chan! And as per Statham’s words, there’s a possibility that this martial arts maestro and action legend from Rush Hour and Rumble in the Bronx could potentially join the fray someday.

As a dedicated cinephile, I’ve been keeping my ears open, but Sylvester Stallone hasn’t shared any news yet. Nevertheless, whispers suggest that the legendary Jackie Chan might join the festivities, and if that happens, I must admit, it would bring a smile to my face. After all, Jackie Chan is one of my favorite actors, and his presence would undeniably elevate the event.

I’ve been a long-time admirer of Jackie, as he truly embodies authenticity. His unwavering commitment and dedication to performing his own stunts have led him to break every bone in his body. That’s why I consider him the genuine article. To put it simply, he’s my favorite. I also appreciate Clint Eastwood, too.

As a dedicated admirer of Jackie Chan’s action prowess, similar to countless other fans, I’ve held him in high regard for years. Back in 2013, during an interview with Collider, I expressed my desire for him to join the cast of The Expendables. Though he hasn’t fought alongside me on the team yet, there’s still time.

Expend4bles Director Says Jackie Chan Could Join the Action Franchise

Regarding a potential sequel, director Scott Waugh hinted at the possibility of Jackie Chan being part of The Expendables 5 during an interview with JoBlo Celebrity Interviews. Although he couldn’t provide definite answers, Waugh fueled excitement by suggesting that “anything could happen.

“I strongly believe anything can come to pass. Given Jackie’s deep admiration for Sly Stallone, and the mutual respect between them, I’m optimistic that if their schedules coincide somehow, which is notoriously difficult, it would be wonderful if we could bring about a meeting or collaboration. That would truly be amazing.

Regarding last year’s Expend4bles, which faced harsh criticism and disappointing ticket sales, there’s been some encouraging news about a potential new installment in the action series. Expendable Randy Couture has shared that talks about the film are underway.

It seems there’s some buzz currently. You know, Statham has made quite a leap in four notable ways. I came across an article mentioning he reached out to Guy Ritchie, the one who launched his career in the industry, about potentially directing an Expendables film, which would be a massive opportunity. Apparently, Guy is fantastic at what he does.

In summary, the finances seem to be satisfactory for the property, as it managed to perform well financially. There are rumors of a fifth film being developed, but only time will tell.
