Bruce Willis demanded a ridiculous $1 million per day to star in The Expendables 3, which Sly Stallone refused before replacing him with Harrison Ford.
Yesterday, news broke about Bruce Willis dropping out of The Expendables 3, after being a part of both previous films. Producer Sylvester Stallone called him out on Twitter as being “greedy and lazy”, after giving the news that legendary actor Harrison Ford had already been called in to replace him. Now more news is coming to the surface, as it’s been brought to light by an anonymous source that Bruce Willis demanded a staggering $1 million per day of shooting, more than anyone else in the film. He was unhappy with the $3 million he was getting for just 4 days of shooting in Bulgaria, and Stallone refused to put up with his diva antics and cut him loose.
After a rough start to 2025 with Brave New World, Marvel hopes to strike back with Thunderbolts. Featuring a ragtag group of misfits from previous MCU movies and a new character that’s insanely powerful, Thunderbolts tells the story of damaged people overcoming their trauma to become heroes. RPadTV host Raymond Padilla is joined by videogame industry veterans Paul Semel and Marcus Beer to discuss the movie and see if it lives up to its comic-book tagline of “Justice, Like Lightning.”
The three will discuss what they liked and didn’t like about Thunderbolts, including their favorite performances and scenes, as well as what could have been improved. Early reviews of the movie have been strong and RPadTV’s version of Thunderbolts (The Sparklers?!?) can’t wait to talk about the latest MCU movie with you.
Deeply disappointed that no one yelled, "Thunder! Thunder! Thunderbolts, ho!"
Good conversation otherwise, though.
The director of the new Evil Dead film wants to leave audiences physically exhausted.
Those pesky log trucks return in Final Destination Bloodlines.
Bruce Willis has hit rock bottom the past few years as far as films go, at least Stallone and Arnie are still going hard, creating movies that people want to see them in. Willis is simply lazy, so I agree, I have been so disappointed with all of his latest films during the past 5 years or so, they are all weak inmo.
