Jackie Chan is one of the biggest action stars in Hollywood, and yet he has not been part of a movie franchise that features almost all the action stars from the industry. Yes, we are talking about The Expendables franchise. Jackie Chan once revealed that he did get the offer to star in one of the parts, but he ended up denying it. Was it because Arnold Schwarzenegger would have stolen his spotlight? Scroll down if you are looking for the answers.
The Expendables 4 is currently running in theatres, and sadly, it has proved to be a dud at the box office. The film stars Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture, along with rapper 50 Cent and Megan Fox, among a few others.
Speaking of Jackie Chan, according to Animated Times, the actor was offered The Expendables franchise multiple times and since Sylvester Stallone is one of the producers of the franchise, it won’t be wrong to assume if he actually pitched it to Chan. However, in one of his interviews in 2014, Chan shared the reason why he declined the franchise, saying, “This morning I did hear the office called Sly [Stallone] wants me for Expendables 4. I said, ‘Okay.’” The action star added, “Because they already asked me to be in two and three, but I refused.”
