Sylvester Stallone has confirmed that he is “moving on” from The Expendables after 12 years with the Lionsgate action film franchise.
He made the announcement last week in a video published to Instagram, which saw him walking around the set of The Expendables 4 on his final day of shooting.
“This is my last day, so… ah… I… am enjoying it, but it’s always bittersweet. You know, it’s something you’ve been very attached to, I think it’s been 12 years and I’m ready to pass the baton to Jason, to his capable hands.”, Stallone stated.
“You know, the great thing is to be able to write a movie for someone, to entertain, maybe there is a little message out there, because what I try to achieve in my successful films is the human touch, the bond. Not so much the action, this is evident, is to relate to the audience so that it can identify with whatever mission the characters have “added the actor.

In The Expendables 4, Stallone reprises his role as Barney Ross, leader of the group of elite mercenaries that gives the franchise its name—traveling the world to carry out missions of all kinds, ranging from assassination to rescue. Scott Waugh is directing the fourth installment, which will see the return of Statham, Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture, along with the addition of new characters played by Megan Fox, Andy Garcia, 50 Cent and others. Statham portrays Ross’ second-in-command Lee Christmas, and will presumably lead future installments.
