Sylvester Stallone teases The Expendables 4 with an image of a new ring designed for the action film. Stallone assembled his first major action film team for 2010’s The Expendables. Fans enjoyed the film’s old-school thrills, and it grossed $274 million at the box office.

With numbers like that, it was obvious that The Expendables wasn’t going to be a one-time novelty. 2012 saw the arrival of The Expendables 2, which memorably featured a post-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in a more substantial role after his cameo in the first film.

2014’s The Expendables 3 upped the star power even further, even bringing in Harrison Ford, and continued the series’ lackluster box office run. However, by 2014, perhaps the novelty of such action hero team-ups had worn off, as Expendables 4 was not immediately put into production.

Now, however, it looks like the film is finally ready to go, as series star Randy Couture recently revealed a script is in the works and it’s possible the film could go into production later this year.

Stallone has now chimed in with his own teaser, indicating that The Expendables 4 is indeed moving forward. On Instagram, the star posted a photo of a key element from the upcoming movie The Expendables – Barney Ross’s new lucky ring. See the image in the space below:

It hasn’t yet been confirmed whether The Expendables 4 has a finished script nor has a director been named, but at least it’s now known that Barney Ross has a new lucky ring.

Ross, of course, has been wearing his signature jewelry since the first Expendables movie, and fans have been able to purchase replicas of the ring ever since.

Now that Barney Ross’ new ring has been revealed, fans can eagerly await casting news for The Expendables 4. Stallone, Couture, and Jason Statham seem to be the only sure things when it comes to the cast, but there are obviously plenty of other stars from action for producers to choose from (assuming they are interested).

Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, John Cena, Liam Neeson, Nicolas Cage, and Dave Bautista are all actors whose filmographies feature a lot of action, who have yet to appear in an Expendables movie.

Bautista, in particular, has worked with Stallone before and may be eager to do so again. Other names that have been rumored for the Expendables series in the past include Steven Seagal, Robert De Niro, Jackie Chan, Jean Reno and Ron Perlman.

Robert Downey Jr. is another actor who has done a lot of acting and could be fun to join the team, perhaps even as a bad guy. The Expendables 4 does not yet have a release date.
