It's the last tour of duty

Fire up that rickety old plane - The Expendables will live to fight another day in one final sequel.
Sylvester Stallone's nostalgic action movie franchise - which teams up tough guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li and Jason Statham - has made nearly $800 million over the years, so one more adventure was always on the cards.
News of the final Expendables sequel was actually revealed by The Hollywood Reporter article about distributor Splendid Film picking up rights for the movie across German-speaking Europe.
Arnie and Jason Statham are name-checked as Expendables vets who could be a part of the final outing, which is apparently gearing up for a 2018 cinema release.
Over the last few years,WWE legend Hulk Hogan, martial arts icon Jackie Chan and even former Bond Pierce Brosnan have all pitched themselves to join Sly and Arnie's crew in The Expendables 4.
While The Expendables 3 was widely panned by critics and underperformed at the box office, it hasn't stopped Stallone from continuing to expand the franchise.
Fox announced last year that it was developing a TV spinoff as a limited event series based around a new Expendables team combating a terrorist threat.
There has also been talk of a female-centric ExpendaBelles movie starring Cameron Diaz and Milla Jovovich and directed by Legally Blonde and 21's Robert Luketic - although Stallone has distanced himself from such a movie.
Across three films, Stallone and Schwarzenegger have given action movie junkies an ultimate mash-up as they teamed up and clashed with fellow icons Mickey Rourke, Wesley Snipes, Terry Crews, Chuck Norris and Bruce Willis.
Don't expect Bruce Willis to pop up in The Expendables 4, seeing as he notoriously fell out with Sly and producers before the release of the previous sequel for allegedly demanding a $1 million-a-day salary.
