Sylvester Stallone has confirmed he will return for a fourth Expendables movie, less than a year after bowing out due to disagreements with the producers.
The 71-year-old actor revealed his character Barney Ross 'will be back' alongside some new faces in the next movie which will also star Jason Statham,
'BARNEY WILL BE BACK ! PLUS THE CREW AND A COUPLE NEW MEMBERS … (sic),' he wrote on Instagram on Monday – a day after the Hollywood star dropped a huge hint he would be returning with another picture of the cast.
'Just when you thought it was safe to go outside…They're coming back,' he wrote.

The first movie was released in 2010 and was created by Stallone to pay homage to the blockbuster action films of the 1980s and 1990s, with a cast made up of stars from that era, including Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, and Dolph Lundgren. By the sequel others such as Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Arnold Schwarzenegger had hopped on board.
In 2017 Stallone revealed he would not be back for another Expendables movie due to disagreements over the script and direction of the franchise; a month later supporting star Schwarzenegger confirmed he would also not return unless Stallone returned.
We've got disagreements with Sly, but we've had them for over a year and a half,' said Nu Image/Millennium chief Avi Lerner.
'Right now, each one has opinion. We agreed on 95 per cent of things, but there are certain things in production we don't agree on. I don't think it's over, but what write whatever you want. In my opinion, it's not dead.'
