There's been a long list of different actors rumored for an "Expendables 4" role in the last few years. Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather and Steven Seagal have all been linked to the film at one point. And so far, nothing official has come from any of them. But now, the Expendables 4 might have its first official new cast member: Hulk Hogan.
The wrestler (who's dabbled in acting before, but never with much success), revealed that he and Expendables star Sylvester Stallone have been discussing the film, with Hogan potentially up for the lead villain role in the next sequel.
"We're trying to figure out a way to maybe turn me into the most evil man in the world," Hogan revealed. "Y'know, Stallone gave me my first break, and he's been a great friend. We had a great conversation, talking about the possibilities. Can I still run, can I still jump? Well, not as fast or not as high, but I think Hollywood could find a good stunt man to help me out."
The massive former wrestler-turned-reality-star might not be able to run and jump like he used to, but that's probably not as big a deal in the Expendables franchise- after all, the whole point is to bring together aging action heroes for one last hurrah (or four last hurrahs, at this point).
Jackie Chan is also rumored to be joining the next Expendables film- the martial arts star explained that he and Stallone had been talking about a potential Expendables role, but Chan would only take part in the film if he got a significant chunk of screen time. Given how star-studded the Expendables cast rosters usually are... significant chunks are hard to come by. Keep an eye out for the latest cast news for "Expendables 4"- and if Hulk Hogan officially signs on as the next Expendables baddie.
