According to a 2014 interview with Den of Geek, he was approached for the fourth episode, but he turned down the offer.
"Then I heard this morning - the office called - Sly [Stallone] wants me for Expendables 4." "Okay," I said. Because they have asked me to be two or three, but I refused. Well, I didn't refuse, but I said, "Hile, can't we just do it with you and me? It's not just a bunch of people, we're just going out for five minutes." the audience was like, 'Oh!' Then I left.
He only wanted to face the star Rocky, but the addition of co-starring his small screen time made him take a step back from the film.
