Arnold In EX4?

Arnold started his journey in the EX franchise with a cameo in the first film. Then his role kept getting bigger and he’s become one of the main figures of the saga. Given the premise of the franchise that was primarily based on assembling action icons of the 80’s/90’s, Arnold’s presence in all the movies was a must for the fans.

Since EX4 is now taking a different direction, veering from the original intent of the series, with Statham as the main lead, and fewer old school action icons, Arnold’s participation in the 4th installment has been uncertain. 

First he exited the project after Sly left, then made it known that he wouldn’t do the fourth if his part was not written well. But as we were getting bits and pieces of news on the 4th movie, he kept being confirmed every time. Avi confirmed Arnold’s participation on a couple of occasions, then he was attached to the project when the details of the spin-off story were leaked. Until Sly replied to a fan on his Instagram account that Arnold was not joining…

With all that, there is still doubt around his presence in the movie. Some indicators such as him being in Europe together with Sly & Lundgren on the weekend before production starts, still point towards an EX4 with Arnold. The latest one is a piece of news published by TheArnoldFans in which Arnold gives away his upcoming projects, and an Action Movie is one of them! Now whether he’s referring to EX4 or a brand new project remains to be seen. For now we keep remaining hopeful that he’ll be in it.
