Mel Gibson will direct Lethal Weapon 5 to fulfill Richard Donner's last wishes

The famous series has been continued

Time Network News "Deadly Weapon 5" finally has progress, recently Mel Gibson said in an interview with foreign media "Variety" that he will direct this belated sequel to complete the original director Richard Donner's last wish.

Richard Donner's wives Lauren Donner and Dan Lin (Godzilla vs. King Kong) served as producers, and Richard Wink, screenwriter of "The Wrongdoer," wrote the latest version of the script. Warner is responsible for the issuance, which has not yet been finalized.

The Lethal Weapon series, which began in 1987, is Mel Gibson's Hollywood fame and a staple of the police partner genre. It tells the story of Mel Gibson's cop Martin Riggs and retiring black cop Roger Mattaf (Danny Glover) teaming up to solve the case, with three sequels in 1989, 1992 and 1998, and Jet Li starring in Lethal Weapon 4.

Mel Gibson said to foreign media: "Donner spent a long time developing the script, and paid a lot of effort. One day he came up to me and said 'lad, if I die, you'll come and do it' and I said: 'Don't say these unlucky ones, then he actually died (July 2020).' He did entrust me with the project, and I didn't agree at the time. He told his wife, the studio, and the producer about it, so I decided to direct the fifth episode. ”
