"Was talking on the phone with Sly [Stallone] about doing The Expendables 4," Hogan was quoted as saying.
"We're trying to figure out a way to maybe turn me into the most evil man in the world. Y'know, Stallone gave me my first break and he's been a great friend for all these years ... We had a great conversation, talking about the possibilities. Can I still run, can I still jump? Well, not as fast or not as high, but I think Hollywood could find a good stunt man to help me out."
There has been many rumors about the casting, including the additions of Bollywood star Salman Khan and Jackie Chan to go up against villains played by former wrestlers Dwayne Johnson and Hulk Hogan. But both Chan and the Bollywood superhero rejected the offer.
