Jean-Claude Van Damme may live to regret turning down a role in Sylvester Stallone’s THE EXPENDABLES but his loss is Dolph Lundgren’s gain. Sly’s ROCKY IV co-star, who was picked to replace the Muscle from Brussels, has revealed new plot details about his character in the action film and who he might end up fighting onscreen.
Lundgren recently spoke to Wizard (via JoBlo.com) and had the following to say.
I play a mercenary who’s part of Sly’s team. He’s kind of a victim of the violence. He ends up getting fired by Stallone. Later in the picture, some other sinister character trying to get back at Sly and his people, hires me to take him out. Because I need the money, I do it. There’s a showdown between me, him and Jet Li.
Sly, Lundgren and Li in a three-way battle? Yes, please.
