Grumbling about the fourth installment of Sylvester Stallone consumables The movie franchise, a series that brings action movie legends together for fast-paced action-adventures, came into force last year when word broke that stars like Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Megan Fox were being attached to the project.
Saint Stallone’s cheeky celebration of the ’80s genre has welcomed some tough cast members over the years, including Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Dolph Lundgren and Arnold Schwarzenegger to name a few, but there’s been no official confirmation About the final list to join the series in the 8 years since the last installment appeared in theaters. But everything changed this week, when a poster shown as part of the Cinemacon in Las Vegas went viral.
The massive poster, filled with the teaser titled “They Will Die When They Die,” shows that 50 Cent, Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Andy García, Jacob Scipo, Levy Train and Iko Uwais have fully confirmed the film, along with welcoming the return of Stallone and Statham.
