And I tell you, scheduling these kinds of movies is incredibly difficult. And even for us, it happened to be a little bit easier, whatever, 2008 to 2009 when we did the first one simply because we had an idea of the action stars we wanted to bring in, and they all were eager to jump in and participate,” he said.Talk about a female-led spinoff for The Expendables franchise dates back to 2012 when the film landed a tentative title, The Expendabelles, and had several notable actors attached including Cameron Diaz, Sigourney Weaver and Milla Jovovich.

If the spinoff were to happen down the line, scheduling would play a big factor. “Once you kick off something that big, you understand that other actors will make themselves available,” Weldon said. “Whereas if you are starting something from scratch, it becomes difficult to get everybody’s schedule and commitments and whatnot. And this franchise has been, we’ve been very, very lucky that actors want to get on board and will rearrange their schedule to do it.”RELATED: Expend4bles Director Wants to Helm a Spider-Man Movie
