Barney Ross' team is now headed for the big screen once again as the Expendables 4 has been revealed to begin filming soon. Sylvester Stallone is likely to return to reprise his role while new characters could also be introduced.

As reported by Yibada, cast member Randy Confirmed during the Annual Sports Festival in Ohio that filming will begin in fall. The new filming information was then released by The Arnold Fans through Twitter although it has not been officially confirmed by the cast members or Stallone as of yet.

Several action star big names have been reported to return for the sequel such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Dolph Lundgren, and Jason Statham. Also despite rumors suggesting that he might choose to focus more on a different project, Sylvester Stallone is likely to reprise his role in the franchise that he started, reports Master Herald.  

WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan has also revealed previously that he had talks with Stallone about starring in the film as a villain, although, his involvement has not been confirmed yet. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has stated his interest in being a cast member in the project, not as a member of Stallone's team but rather as the baddie. Steve Austin was also rumored to star in a villain role.

Details about the project have been scarce and it was even thought to be cancelled due to the box office turnout of the third film. But according to Movie News Guide, recent speculations suggest that the next movie could be targeted at China especially since the previous installments' box office performance were better in China than domestically.

However, speculations must still be treated with a grain of salt until official details about The Expendables 4 are released. No director has been confirmed for the project that is eyeing for 2017 release date as stated in its IMDb page.
