Glen Powell isn’t ready to give up on the Expendables franchise just yet. Powell played a hacker named Thorne in the 2014 film The Expendables 3. Although the film ended with Barney Ross officially welcoming Thorne to the team, Powell did not return for Expend4bles, which focused on a group of rookies.
Nothing has been said about Thorne being killed, so there’s always a chance he’ll return. In fact, Powell is excited about going out with the Expendables team again. The actor recently took part in a roundtable discussion with his Expendables 3 co-star Harrison Ford, where the prospect of making another film was discussed.
“Harrison, you and I have both talked about doing The Expendables 5,” Glen Powell said during a recent Hollywood Reporter comedy roundtable. “You spoke. “I listened,” Harrison Ford responded.
It was typical Harrison Ford wit, so I wouldn’t read too much into his answer. It’s worth noting that Ford’s character, a CIA agent named Max Drummer, also survived the events of The Expendables 3 but did not return for the next film.
An all-female spin-off called The Expendables 5 is currently in development, but as of this writing, there are no confirmed plans for The Expendables 5. However, if Powell can convince Harrison Ford to return, the studio would be foolish not to greenlight him.
