Before "Expendables 4" is even officially announced, Jason Statham already expressed his desire to return to the action-packed franchise.

"Working with Sylvester Stallone is beyond a pinch yourself moment," the 47-year-old British actor said of his co-star in an interview with IGN.

"I remember growing up watching his films. And to be directed by him and to be in a movie that he's produced and to be shoulder to shoulder with Sly is a privilege any man who loves action movies would never turn their nose up at. I mean, it's terrific. I'll do as many as he wants."

However, following the lackluster "Expendables 3," there are reports suggesting that Sylvester Stallone is already having doubts if he'll still continue with "Expendables 4."

But before Sly and Lionsgate could get to a decision, Arnold Schwarzenegger is reportedly trying to convince his good friend to push through with the project.

"I just think it's a terrific franchise," he said in an interview with USA Today. "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."

And if that's not enough, the hacker who is reportedly responsible for leaking "Expendables 3" has been arrested recently.

According to Deadline UK's Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit who has been working in a joint investigation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations and the MPAA arrested a 26-year-old male living in Halifax, UK for being suspected of leaking "Expendables 3" and other movies thereof.

"I'd like to thank the Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit at the City of London Police for working with U.S. Homeland Security Investigations to apprehend the suspect in this case," Sylvester Stallone, said in an official statement released to the press. "It is important to protect the rights of creatives around the world from theft."

The real question now is, will Sylvester Stallone finally push through with "Expendables 4?"
