Actor, director and producer Mel Gibson, who starred in the first `Lethal Weapon` movie more than 30 years ago, is in talks to direct the upcoming `Lethal Weapon 5`, which is likely the final installment of the popular Warner Bros. action franchise.
As per Variety, the fifth entry of the famous franchise has been in development for many years, with Richard Wenk writing the most recent draft of the script. Richard Donner, who directed and produced all previous `Lethal Weapon` films, had been working to develop a fifth installment, but he died on July 5, 2021, at 91, putting the plans in limbo.
