10 Obvious Expendables 4 Castings That Need To Happen
10. Danny Trejo
Who wouldn't want to see the badass, hoarse-voiced, long-haired uncle Machete in The Expendables?
When you watch a Trejo performance, you never see him sink into the role. You simply witness as the man behind Machete comes in, spouts some badass lines and has fun. Meaning, he's effortlessly entertaining.
The interesting thing about Trejo is that he only ever takes leading roles in B-movies. His more significant movie parts come as minor characters who act as glorified cameos. That's a trend that would certainly work to his favour in The Expendables 4, as he's already proven he doesn't need mass amounts of screentime to make a lasting impression.
One final note, Trejo was actually slated to be in the inaugural Expendables movie. Still, according to him, he was only used as a name to get funding (thanks to his link to the Latin market) and was ignored by the time casting went underway. It's time for Stallone to make amends, and finally deliver on Trejo getting his Expendables moment.
