It is indeed still 2017. Yes, what you’re experiencing is déjà vu.

These three seasoned action stars appear to still be going strong, having been releasing hit punch-em-out tunes since your grandfather first began training weights. According to Deadline, Stallone will act in and helm the military thriller Tough as They Come after the success of Creed, which won him an Oscar nomination. The film will chronicle the amazing true story of US Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and wrote the book of the same name about how he survived a quadruple amputation.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Van Damme and Lundgren will co-star in the CIA action film Black Water. The story revolves around a deep cover agent (Van Damme) who finds himself in a government black site on a submarine and has to figure out how to get out.

In addition, Lundgren is scheduled to return to action in 2018 with a major part in Aquaman. He may also play his iconic antagonist Ivan Drago in Creed 2.

That’s not all, though.

This is a future addition, but James Cameron’s plan for a new Terminator film has Arnold Schwarzenegger returning. Tim Miller, the filmmaker of Deadpool, will helm the picture, while Linda Hamilton will return. On July 26, 2019, the movie will be released.

UPDATE: It looks like Sylvester Stallone won’t be starring in Expendables 4 anymore. Click this link to find out why. However, he is back with Michael B. Jordan in Creed 2, when he plays the iconic Rocky Balboa.
