Why Milla Jovovich Turned Down The Expendables 3 – ManlyMovie

Why Milla Jovovich Turned Down The Expendables 3

ManlyMovie said it ’till we were blue in the face last summer – Milla Jovovich wasn’t going to be in The Expendables 3!  The question of why has now been answered.  Jovovich doesn’t want to be in The Expendables 3 because it’s an action movie.  Avi Lerner told Bulgarian last week that Jovovich met with Sylvester Stallone to negotiate a deal to appear in the movie.  But in the end she said no.  Her reasoning exactly was that she was trying to shed her Resident Evil action-girl appearance.  I guess that rules out an Expendabelles appearance, not that anyone cares but it’ll be nice to see if we have a hypocrite on our hands.  Good news regardless that she’s not in EX3.

So here’s our two cents… why bother meeting him in the first place if this was what was going on in her head?  Basically she met, was given a figure, and turned her nose up at it.  Like most things, it came down to money.  We’re not sure when this meeting took place but in the screenplay we have there is no character that overtly stands out as Jovovich, so probably another factor is ego.  See also why Seagal turned down Expendables 3 and why Jackie Chan is not in Expendables 3.  Hint: Ego twice more.
