SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Expendables 4 featured a major scene that feels like a big snub aimed at Sylvester Stallone's Barney Ross, which reverses a problem for one of his other franchises. In recent years, it appears Stallone has decided to lay his most famous characters to rest.
While this sparked fan theories that Stallone's Barney would die, this didn't prove to be the case. Instead, Barney fakes his death during the story to lure a terrorist out of hiding, though the sequel only reveals this ruse during The Expendables 4's ending. It's possible the franchise could continue, but the terrible reviews the fourth entry faced along its decidedly tepid box office suggest the series has just been expended.
The implication is either that they're all dead - which is unlikely in itself - or they couldn't be bothered to show up for their fallen comrade. Of course, the real-world reason is that scheduling even a couple of big-name cameos would have involved working out complicated scheduling and maybe even a big fee for what amounts to a brief appearance, which was probably more hassle than the studio was willing to deal with.
Expendables 4 Has The Opposite Sylvester Stallone Problem Of Creed 3 Expendables 4 also reverses a problem that faced Creed III, following Stallone's exit as Rocky. During the latter sequel, Adonis' mother Mary Anne passes away, and while a funeral scene is shown, Rocky isn't in attendance. Given how close Rocky was to Adonis and the Creed family, this made his absence all the more glaring.
