Despite Expendables 3′s box office belly flop last year – due to the film’s online leakage, according to Lionsgate – Sylvester Stallone remains optimistic about the future of his popular action series. In fact, he’s already laying out plans for the 4th installment.

Here’s what Stallone told CCTV: “As we go on, we will continue to add more stars, more personalities, more athletes, more individuals around the world, not just Americans… hopefully, we’ll be able to film in Asia very soon.”

Stallone also mentions the possible addition of Jackie Chan, who has been linked to the franchise since the original Expendables: “We’ve always wanted to use Jackie Chan. The only reason we didn’t is because there really wasn’t a part big enough for him, because we had so many actors. But in the next one, we are going to reduce the actors, and let’s just say, expand the screen time of each star.”

In addition to Chan, other names – such as Dwayne Johnson, Christopher Lambert, Jean Reno, Pierce Brosnan and Steven Seagal – have been considered for the franchise (see our updates regarding Expendables casting here). Stay tuned with more developments regarding Expendables 4.

Updates: Thanks to EP.com, we have a video where Stallone talks about the possibility of an Expendables 4. When asked if he’s going to do another one, he replies: “I don’t know. We got so ripped off. If I do another one it’s going to be a lot bloodier though…hardcore R.”

When asked if future installments of the franchise will be Rated R, this is what Stallone had to say: "Absolutely unequivocally yes. I believe it was a horrible miscalculation on everyone's part in trying to reach a wider audience, but in doing such, diminish the violence that the audience expects. I'm quite certain it won't happen again." Stallone also hints that one of the main characters may actually be killed in a future installment. - Thanks to Crave.

According to Youth Health (via EP.com), Manny Pacquiao may have a role in The Expendables 4: “During Pacquiao’s match against Chris Algieri, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger went to Manny Pacquiao’s locker room to wish him good luck. But someone from Manny Pacquiao’s camp affirmed that something more came up, Stallone and Schwarzenegger recruited the Filipino boxer to join the cast of The Expendables 4! The Filipino champ allegedly accepted the offer and the two legends left the room with smiles on their faces.” Of course, nothing is official until it’s on paper, but only time will tell.

In an interview with Graham Walker Stallone revealed that he wants Jack Nicholson to play a villain in Expendables 4: “Is it gonna happen? Most likely not. Is it possible? Slightly.” He also mentions Clint Eastwood, but says the possibility of his involvement would be a “long shot.”

No news on Expendables 4, but Deadline reports that Expendables is getting the TV series treatment. Whereas the movie version united big screen action stars, the Expendables TV series will unite small screen action stars. Avi Lerner and Sylvester Stallone will serve as producer and executive producer, respectively. No cast members have been announced, but we'll keep you updated as we hear more.

In an interview with USAT, Schwarzenegger, who starred in all 3 Expendables films, had this to say: "I just think it's a terrific franchise. I told Sly to write another one or have someone else write another one. A really terrific story. Because I think it's a great idea to have an ensemble piece with that many action heroes in a movie. Especially if the comedy is really done well. It could be a great story. There's definitely room for another one."

During the Power Expo at the NEC Arena in Birmingham, England last weekend, Hulk Hogan mentioned in was in talks with Stallone to play the main villain in Expendables 4.

BREAKING NEWS: From EP.com: Sylvester Stallone made an appearance at the L.A premiere of Terminator Genisys. When being interviewed by the Chinese media, he revealed that both he, Jackie Chan, and most likely, Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be filming a movie in China soon. No further details were given. There's a strong possibility the project he's talking about is The Expendables 4. After all, months ago, we reported (scroll up to the 2nd paragraph of this post) that the next Expendables flick would be filmed in Asia. Stay tuned!

We love Steven Seagal, but damn, we sure find it hard as hell to keep up with the films on his to-do list. So far, we have Code of Honor, Under Siege 3, Cypher, Perfect Weapon, End of a Gun and Four Towers.

Another one you can add to the pile is The Asian Connection, a project that will be helmed by Daniel Zirilli, a director mostly known for 2010′s Locked Down and Circle of Pain, both of which are MMA-style TapouT Film productions. Danny Roth (Shark Lake) is set to produce. Currently, there are no other stars locked down.

Here’s what you can expect from the film’s plot: Two American expatriates, Jack and Sam, unwittingly steal a drug lord’s money when they rob a series of banks in Southeast Asia and become the target of the gang’s vengeance. When Sam is killed, Jack turns to the love of his life, Pom, and the couple becomes a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde that takes the fight to the gang.

As always, we’ll keep you updated as we hear more!
