Could Jackie Chan Appear In Expendables 5? Director Reveals Conditions


Expendables 4 director Scott Waugh addresses the possibilities of a Jackie Chan appearance in Expendables 5, revealing the one major condition.
Expend4bles director Scott Waugh addressed whether Jackie Chan might appear in Expendables 5. Expend4bles is Waugh’s first movie in The Expendables franchise, having previously come from directing 2014’s Need for Speed. The Expend4bles cast includes Jason Statham, 50 Cent, Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren, Andy Garcia, and Sylvester Stallone. Unfortunately, the latest installment has performed poorly at the box office, but that hasn’t stopped conversations about a possible Expendables 5.

Speaking with JoBlo Celebrity Interviews, Waugh was asked whether he thinks Jackie Chan, who has long been desired for The Expendables, would ever enter the franchise. Waugh responded that “anything’s possible” and expressed enthusiasm for Chan’s potential entry into the series. The conditions would eventually come down to the actor’s schedule. Check out the full quote from Waugh below:
“Look I think anything’s possible, and I know Jackie’s a huge Sly fan, Sly has such reverence for Jackie as well. I think if the stars align in their schedules, which is always so freaking complicated, I would really hope that we could make that happen, that’d be fantastic.”

What Will Expendables 5 Look Like (If It Happens)?
A seasoned action star who has been acting for over 50 years, Chan has long been a fan favorite to join The Expendables team. As the Expendables movies featured other action legends, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and Harrison Ford, Chan seemed like a high-profile omission. This was not for lack of trying, as Stallone reportedly tried to recruit Chan for The Expendables 2 and The Expendables 3. Chan turned down the Expendables appearance on both occasions, citing first a schedule conflict and then a screen time fear for the latter, wanting to eschew roles in which he would be around for “five minutes.”

After Expend4bles, the franchise might be looking for new talent again. Unlike previous entries in the franchise, which situated Stallone as the protagonist among copious sidekicks, Expend4bles put Statham at the forefront. This torch passing from Stallone to Statham indicates that The Expendables franchise is changing, and with this shift comes the greater possibility of adding new characters to the mix. Chan, if the franchise is lucky, could be one such figure.
As optimistic as Waugh may sound about an Expendables future beyond Expend4bles, the chances of The Expendables 5 are far from definite. Not only does Expend4bles have an astoundingly low Rotten Tomatoes score at 15%, but the movie botched its opening weekend, raking in only $8.3 million at the domestic box office. The Expendables franchise has long overcome bad reviews, but coupled with poor financial returns, a fifth installment seems more unlikely. While Chan may be a great idea, Stallone and The Expendables team will first need to decide whether The Expendables 5 is in the cards in the first place.

‘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.
