The Expendables 4 roster gets a lot deeper as one of the most celebrated athletes in the world, Manny Pacquiao, might be joining Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, and Bruce Willis!
During Pacquiao's match against Chris Algieri, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger went to Manny Pacquiao's locker room to wish him good luck. But someone from Manny Pacquiao's camp affirmed that something more came up, Stallone and Schwarzenegger recruited the Filipino boxer to join the cast of The Expendables 4!
The Filipino champ allegedly accepted the offer and the two legends left the room with smiles on their faces.
It is also worth noting that the other cast of the Expendables are thrilled to have Pacquiao in the roster, Terry Crews once stated, "Expendables 3, [with] Manny Pacquiao, you said it right now!" during an interview with Ricky Lo.
Jean Claude Van Damme added, "That would be wonderful."
With the addition of Pacquiao, it will no longer be a surprise if The Expendables 4 becomes a global phenomenon, especially in the Philippines where everybody proclaims Manny Pacquiao as a national hero. It would be interesting to see if fans will get to see the boxer's lightning fast punches or knocking everybody out who comes in his way in the film.
Manny Pacquiao won his match against Chris Algieri via unanimous decision, while scoring six knockdowns as well.
In other Expendables 4 news, The Rock has already expressed his interest in joining the film. However, not as a member but as a villain!
The famous WWE superstar turned actor told a fan who asked him if he's interested in an "Expendables" movie, he enthusiastically answered:
"I don't want to be on their team and be buddies with them. Fuck that noise. I want to hunt every single one of them down and tell them to "send your soul to heaven cause your ass is mine," hinting screenwriters how he wanted to be written in the story.
Johnson then added that he would want to keep two Expendables members, Terry Crews who'll be his "pec popping contest" opponent and Rhonda Rousey to become his "training partner."
What do you think readers? Will the addition of Manny Pacquiao and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson propel the franchise's popularity to new heights? Will you be watching the film once it hits the big screen? Sound off in the comments section below!
