Kurt Russell passed on a key role in the original Expendables, only to rather confusingly accept a similar character in the Fast & Furious series.
Kurt Russell once snubbed a key role in The Expendables, and his reason for doing so makes little sense considering his part in the Fast & Furious movies. The Expendables is essentially the Pokemon of action franchises, where the filmmakers behind them tried to collect as many legends of the genre as possible. The series featured everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Wesley Snipes and Jet Li to Harrison Ford, but some notable actors passed on The Expendables too.
In a message posted to StalloneZone in 2009, Stallone opened up about Russell passing on The Expendables. He revealed that he "put the request in a letter" to Russell about the role, and was called back by the actor's agent several days later. Apparently, Russell's agent refused even to send Stallone's letter, proclaiming his client was not interested in "ensemble acting’" at this time.
Nobody recruits Dom and his gang to retrieve a stolen device in exchange for helping them track down Jason Statham's Shaw, and he reappeared in the next two Fast & Furious movies. Like Church, the character's real name was never revealed, though Russell's Nobody is at least friendlier than his Expendables counterpart. He shares a drink with Dom in Furious 7 and even joins the family for dinner in the eighth entry's finale.
