Film icon, Arnold Schwarzenegger gained recognition in the film industry after his grand feature in the 1977 documentary, Pumping Iron. Since then, he has been part of several epic box-office franchises like Terminator and Expendables. While the actor starred in all parts of the James Cameron-led films, he decided to skip the fourth part of the $789 million worth Expendables franchise.  

A recent post by Lionsgate Movies on YouTube featured the trailer of the upcoming film, Expendable 4, almost a decade after the third part’s release in 2014. To the fans’ surprise, Schwarzenegger is missing from the box office hit film this year.
