Rather than make a fifth Expendables movie with Stallone front and center, if the series were to continue, it would likely shift its focus to Jason Statham’s character, Lee Christmas, who took over as the leader of the mercenary team. While Stallone has had to contend with losing his franchises, he hasn't been completely ousted from Hollywood, as memorable roles like King Shark in The Suicide Squad and Stakar Ogord in Guardians of the Galaxy have demonstrated his potential in the superhero genre. With a Cop Land series reportedly (via Variety) in the works at Miramax, Stallone reprising his role as the morally upright small-town sheriff could be just the boost he needs, as it would remind audiences that there’s far more to him than Rocky and Rambo.
