Actor Sylvester \u2018Rocky\u2019 Stallone reportedly offered Manny \u2018Pacman\u2019 Pacquiao a role in the upcoming fourth sequel of the action movie series \u201cThe Expendables.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Stallone and costar Arnold Schwarzenegger were seen in Pacquiao\u2019s fight with Chris Algieri last year, more rumors spread. The two actors reportedly met with the boxing-champ in the locker room and offered him the role of a \u2018vicious rebel general.\u2019<\/p>\n

Aside from Pacquiao, martial arts expert Jackie Chan and wrestling legend Hulk Hogan were also considered in the cast of the action film. There had been no official announcements on the final cast though.<\/p>\n

With Stallone\u2019s recent visit to Pacquiao at the Wild Card Boxing Gym, even more speculations spread.<\/p>\n

Though several photos of the two circulated online, there was no mention of movie negotiations.<\/p>\n

Pacquiao\u2019s business manager, Eric Pineda, confirmed that the movie role was offered and Pacquiao was indeed \u2018interested.\u2019 He added, however, that production would have to wait should Pacquiao accept the role as the boxer and politician still had a tight schedule.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, he is busy with training and, after the fight, he will be busy with his campaign for the May 2016 elections,\u201d Pineda said, mentioning that Pacquiao has been \u2018planning to run for senator.<\/p>\n

\u2019<\/p>\n

Aside from being a boxer and politician, Pacquiao was also an evangelist and a basketball coach, adding more duties that needed to be fulfilled in his tight schedule.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to his very busy schedule, there are no concrete plans for the Hollywood movie, whether it would push through or not,\u201d Pineda added.<\/p>\n

Stallone, on the other hand, was reportedly getting busy with the film\u2019s script.<\/p>\n

Production was also set to begin sometime this year and would take place in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have actually entertained the idea of putting the group into such an unnatural environment that it, in itself, creates extra suspense and tension: the ‘fish out of water scenario. That environment might not be time travel, but nearly just as jarring,\u201d Stallone said.<\/p>\n

But should Pacquiao decline the offer, he has already been considered as a \u2018big star\u2019 in the United States anyway.<\/p>\n

\u201cHollywood stars like Mark Wahlberg and Jim Caviezel would line up outside the gym, waiting for their turn to see him. That is the kind of star Manny is outside of the country. He is respected and well-loved,\u201d Pacquiao\u2019s biographical film \u2018Kid Kulafu\u2019 director Paul Soriano said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
