Rocky IV

The man Sylvester Stallone dispatched in Rocky IV may join Sly for another round of expenditures. Stallone has expressed interest in bringing Dolph Lundgren, the man who played the towering Russian boxing machine Ivan Drago (”I must break you.”), on board his tough-guy tale The Expendables, which already stars Jet Li, Jason Statham and Stallone himself. He’s also claimed to be after Forest Whitaker for a role as well, so we can’t take everything the man says as fact, but this seems very plausible. Stallone’s story is about a team of badass mercenaries trying to overthrow a Latin American dictator, and he seems to be intending it as a bit of a reinvention of the old school action style. Lundgren would be a great fit.
