A David Ayer War Movie Remake Would Be Jason Statham's Perfect Expendables Replacement

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT An upcoming David Ayer remake of a classic war movie would be perfect for Jason Statham and the star's ideal Expendables replacement. It is a bountiful time for Jason Statham action franchises, with the star appearing in hits like Meg 2: The Trench or Fast X. However, The Expendables 4 was a notable box office bomb, with that outing barely recouping half its production budget and receiving disastrous reviews.

Many of Ayer's movies involve a misfit group of soldiers or cops working together, but it Fury, Sabotage or Suicide Squad. On paper, Ayer feels like a natural fit for The Expendables franchise, but he's cooking up the next best thing with a remake of The Dirty Dozen.

The Dirty Dozen received several TV movie sequels during the 1980s, including Next Mission , The Deadly Mission and The Fatal Mission . The fourth installment positioned Statham as the new leader of the team too, but the sequel's abysmal performance makes a fifth adventure doubtful. Assuming Ayer's Dirty Dozen movie happens, Statham can make up for the wasted potential of The Expendables saga by turning it into his new action series about a team of expendable soldiers. The film could be the hard-edged action film that Stallone's series failed to be, with Ayer surrounding Statham with a great ensemble cast.
