10 Obvious Expendables 4 Castings That Need To Happen

When you talk to cinemagoers about Denzel Washington, you'll probably split people down the middle. One half will know him as the two time Oscar winner from movies like Malcolm X, Flight, Fences and Training Day. But the other half will tell you he's a kick-ass action star from The Equalizer, Man on Fire and more.

Washington shows that you can have it all in a career, as he's garnered acclaim as one of the best of his generation while still getting to live the fantasy of being an action-movie star. So, who better to come and whip The Expendables into shape than this versatile figure?

Washington was a little late to the genre - having built up a fantastic repertoire of action experience over the past two decades - but has taken to it like a duck to water. His prowess as a badass, no-nonsense, intimidating figure would undoubtedly make him a strong presence in the line-up, and his acting prestige guarantees that he won't simply slide into the background.
