4) The Expendables
The surprise success of The Expendables led to two sequels that increased the body count tenfold, and now that both numbers four and five have been green-lit, we could be looking at a full blown apocalypse by the franchise’s conclusion.
That’s not all, though. Open discussion of a female centric spinoff titled The Expendabelles has also been doing the rounds, and there’s even talk of a TV show being produced by Fox. None of this sounds ridiculous in the slightest, right?
Who would have thought that recruiting creaky old has-beens into a movie with plenty of guns and pretty explosions would create a franchise this big? Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing Taylor Lautner take the lead in Expendables 9. It would be such a shame to let that talent go to waste…
