Lethal Weapon 5: Mel Gibson & Danny Glover & Original Director Returning

Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and original director Richard Donner are all on board to return for Lethal Weapon 5. A fifth installment in the highly successful action series has been the subject of on-again, off-again status for well over a decade now, with fans desperate for more.

As early as 2008, rumors began to circulate that a fifth Lethal Weapon was indeed a possibility. Shane Black, writer of the first entry in the series, had reportedly written one last Lethal Weapon script, and was looking to get Gibson, Glover, and Donner on board for what would be the fifth and final film. After starring in four Lethal Weapon films together from 1987 to 1998, both Gibson and Glover had said that they were no longer interested in starring in another installment. However, as we all know, nothing is ever truly finished in Hollywood. Time, money, and an excellent script can often work wonders on even the most resolute stars. The first Lethal Weapon film was also the last time that Black wrote one of the franchise’s screenplays and even today, the film holds up as a landmark effort in the buddy cop formula. And despite (mostly) positive reviews, each successive installment in the series always seemed to be chasing the charm and intensity of the first film.

The constant back and forth over the possibility of another Lethal Weapon had led more than a few fans to abandon hope. After all this time, however, there does once again appear to be a chance that things are on the right track. JoBlo is reporting that during a round table chat with Dan Lin, the veteran Lethal Weapon producer stated that not only are the wheels in motion on a fifth installment but also that Gibson, Glover and Donner are all committed to return.
