Although Expendables 4 was announced early in 2017, creative differences over the script among the scriptwriters and Stallone caused friction. This ended up in the exit of Stallone and Schwarzenneger from the cast, which meant that the Expendables 4 project had to be shut down.

2018 saw the patch-up between the Media company and Stallone. Soon afterward, Stallone and the other cast were brought on board again. However, there is no word on whether Arnold Schwarzenneger has rejoined the venture. So, we can’t be sure of seeing Arnold’s character ‘Trench Mauser’ in the fourth film.
