How Expendables 4 Director Worked Around Antonio Banderas’ Inability To Return: "So Quintessential To The Comedic Moments"

The Expendables 4 director Scott Waugh explains how the movie worked around Antonio Banderas’ inability to return. The actor portrayed Galgo in The Expendables 3, a former member of the Spanish Legion whose personality and eagerness to join Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) made him a fan favorite. The latest entry in the action franchise tracks the titular group of mercenaries and their efforts to prevent World War III. Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture reprise their characters in The Expendables 4, and while Banderas is noticeably absent from the cast, Jacob Scipio appears as his character’s son, Galan.
