Schwarzenegger Won't Do 'Expendables' Sequel Without Stallone

Arnold Schwarzenegger may not be back for “The Expendables 4.”

The actor told EW that he will not star in the actioner without Sylvester Stallone, who is reportedly leaving the franchise.

“There is no ‘Expendables’ without Sly,” the former governor said. “I would never do the movie without him, no.”

According to multiple reports — first reported by Deadline — Stallone is departing “The Expendables” after he and Nu Image/Millennium chief Avi Lerner could not agree on the direction of the new film, including its director and script.

In addition to starring in the series as Barney Ross, Stallone also co-wrote the first three films with creator Dave Callaham and directed 2010’s original “The Expendables.”

Schwarzenegger plays Trench Mauser in the “Expendables” films.
