Mumbai: "I Now Pronounce You Man And Knife." With eye-catching explosions, iconic lines and more, the celebrated Expendables promise raw, unfiltered and violent action wherever they go. The action franchise returns with Expend4bles (Expendables 4) and a newly expanded cast of Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, and Andy Garcia. With new faces come some old ones in Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham as the group of mercenaries band together and fight for each other, and money (of course!). Bringing back the memorable action sequences, budding camaraderie and ‘never say die’ attitude, Expend4bles is all set to exclusively premiere on Lionsgate Play this 5 January.

Talking about his character Gunner, actor Dolph Lundgren said, “With Gunner, I think he's a bit of a comedic relief because he's the only one or one of the few characters who doesn't care, doesn't try to be tough. He doesn't really care much. He has these idiosyncrasies and he always has problems, a little bit of substance abuse, a little bit of concentration issues. In this film, he's on the wagon. So, he's been sober for six months. He's doing the AA program and he's dating some girl on the Internet that he's in love with. It clouds his perception a little bit. Also, age has caught up with him, so he's wearing glasses and he's got a bifocal scope on his sniper rifle. But things don't work out that well initially for him.”

Further elaborating about his character, Lundgren said, “So, those things put together is kind of fun to play with as an actor and it gives me somewhere to go. Like in each scene I can always try to massage it so that it's a bit entertaining for the audience and that they can follow the guy and follow the arc of the character and catch the payouts and all of these different weaknesses and obstacles that he has to accomplish his goal.”
