“I want to hunt every single one of them”: Dwayne Johnson in Expendables 5 after Sylvester Stallone Franchise Rejected Jackie Chan? The Rock’s Demands Before Jason Statham’s Takeover


The Expendables franchise is, at its core, a nostalgic revival of the macho action genre that dominated cinema during the late 20th century. The Expendables films are unapologetic in their commitment to old-school action. In an era where many action movies rely heavily on CGI and elaborate stunts, The Expendables takes a more practical approach.
The Expendables franchise, by Sylvester Stallone, is worth around $789 million. Every actor hopes to work with Sylvester Stallone and Terry Crews, and Dwayne Johnson has already stated that he is a “buddy” of the renowned filmmaker. So, is he coming for Expendables 5?

Dwayne Johnson is Enthusiastic about Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables FranchiseThe Expendables franchise is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic action cinema. It celebrates the larger-than-life heroes and explosive spectacles that defined a generation of action films.
One of Hollywood’s biggest A-listers, Dwayne Johnson, expressed his eagerness to take on the role of the franchise’s villain in Sylvester Stallone‘s $789 million The Expendables. Before Jason Statham was once again cast as Lee Christmas, Johnson believes that Stallone wouldn’t mind creating a role for him.

The actor even gave the screenwriters hints on how to write things for him. The wrestler wanted to kick some real a**. Back then he stated:
“I don’t want to be on their team and be buddies with them. F**k that noise. I want to hunt every single one of them down and tell them to “send your soul to heaven cause your a** is mine.”

The Expendables franchise brought every veteran actor together on the same team and Jackie Chan was no exception. But the actor hasn’t yet made an appearance in the franchise.
Why Jackie Chan was never a Part of the Franchise?Famous actor Jackie Chan has explained why he did not feature in Sylvester Stallone’s Expendables, which also starred Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and James McAvoy.

The Rush Hour actor explained the reason, saying that while he never turned down Sylvester Stallone, he believed that the film already had too many Hollywood luminaries.
Jackie Chan acknowledged that he wouldn’t have been concerned if it was just a one-on-one battle between Stallone and him, but the presence of other actors in the franchise, such as Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, and Jean-Claude Van Damme, prompted him to walk away.
Jackie Chan admitted that he felt the format of the movies to be boring and redundant. Chan claimed that there was no point in appearing for only five minutes.
“…this morning I did hear – the office called – Sly [Stallone] wants me for Expendables 4. I said, ‘Okay.’ Because they already asked me to be in two and three, but I refused. Well, I didn’t refuse, but I said, ‘Sly, can’t we just do you and me? Not just a bunch of people and me only coming out for five minutes.’ Because then the audience is, ‘Oh!’ And then I’m gone.”
Everyone is aware that Dwayne Johnson always gets the franchises he wants. So, is there any way he is joining the team in Expendables 5?
Expendables 4 hit theaters on September 22, 2023.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
