Bruce Willis has been at the center of Hollywood attention after the actor’s aphasia diagnosis rendered him almost as infamous in the audience’s minds as his role in theDie Hardfranchise did. The actor has, over the years, cemented his place in the industry with a good chunk of action roles spread out evenly over the decades. And with the premiere of each of these action projects, Willis has only become increasingly favored among the masses.
These same statements, when applied to Arnold Schwarzenegger, resonates with the same frequency, especially since the Austrian has enjoyed a far greater period of success in the industry than theUnbreakableactor.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Wishes To Team Up With Bruce Willis
The Governator has remained at the forefront of the greatest action movies of all time ever since he stepped onto the silver screen with his malevolent robotic Terminator in James Cameron’s eponymous movie in 1984. The genre of sci-fi action thrillers was forever redefined by what the director and actor then presented on the screen. A few years later,Bruce Williswould do the same with the greatly beloved “Christmas” movie,Die Hardin 1988, which went on to spawn a string of sequels and catapult the actor into the limelight of the ever-demanding action-thriller industry.
The pair had become so enmeshed in their inherent identities as badass protagonists of high-stakes adrenaline-fueled films that the success of a film was no longer contingent upon the variety of plots in their never-endingTerminatorandDie Hardsequels. Their names alone were enough to sell out entire theatres. As such, a team-up of two of the greatest action movie stars of the past half-century would be a sight to behold, and it would be remiss to not exploit the ingenuity of having them take down the on-screen big bad together.

The Expendablesfranchise, launched bySylvester Stallone, attempted to do just that with the added bonus of having all the great action stars, including Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jet Li, andJason Statham, and the success was astounding.
