Internet rumors circulated a few months ago about how Mel Gibson had been offered over $25million to reprise his role as LAPD Officer Martin Riggs for a fifth and final chapter in the franchise and that Richard Donner had a story in mind which he would be interested in directing.
Glover unequivocally and emphatically told us that there is no way that he would be returning for a fifth film and that as far as he was concerned, the franchise is over for him and the door is shut.
The veteran actor, who has appeared in over 80 movies and television programs, has a full slate of upcoming films for the next year including Night Train, Blindness and Be Kind Rewind.
Lethal Weapon 4 was released July 10th, 1998 and stars Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, Chris Rock, Jet Li, Steve Kahan, Kim Chan. The film is directed by Richard Donner.

I truely do believe that glover is to old for this sh*t as he always said! Let lethal Weapon 4 stand where it is!

Oddly, my roommate and I were disscussing this while watching Live Free or Die Hard. We both thought a 5th Leathal weapon would be cool, but that it wouldn't work anymore with the age of the actors. And lets face it, you can't do it without Mel & Danny. Dood move for Glover deciding to go out on top.

i think it would be very smart for Glover NOT to do another one. i mean come on, be realistic here! he is the man but some things just need to be put to rest. Great Job though!!!
