00:00 I'm Megan Fox, I play Gina,

00:01 and we are filming "Expendables 4."

00:04 - I want in.

00:05 Come on with you.

00:06 - Oh, I'm sorry.

00:07 You weren't invited.

00:10 - Well, won't you be lonely without me?

00:14 - No.

00:16 There's lots of other boys on the mission.

00:18 My character Gina is an ex of Lee Christmas'

00:23 and she is also a trained, I guess,

00:29 you would call her mercenary or something

00:31 in the line of that.

00:33 She didn't feel like he respected her

00:37 and they ended up breaking up

00:38 and then she comes back into the fold

00:41 and plays a role in the Expendables as maybe team leader.

00:46 We'll see.

00:49 I think, hopefully, Gina brings some humor to the story

00:55 and she also brings, I think, a fresh element.

01:00 There's a freshness to her attitude

01:02 where she's not very self-serious

01:04 and she's kind of sarcastic

01:07 and she gives the boys a lot of (beep)

01:09 and that's the fun element that exists

01:13 between her and Jason's character and Stillen's character.

01:16 It's fun to see her give them a hard time

01:19 and point out where they've been failing all along

01:24 because I feel like they're usually pointing out

01:26 to the other characters where they're going wrong

01:28 and finally you have this one character

01:30 that's like, "Actually, it's you and here's why."

01:32 I mean, playing Gina's been fun.

01:34 We've had some really interesting scenes

01:36 between Jason and I, some character stuff

01:40 that I don't think you've seen from his character before

01:43 in any of the other movies

01:44 because it's sort of a flashback, it's a backstory

01:47 and you get to see him a little more,

01:49 I don't know if vulnerable's really the right word,

01:51 but you get to see him in a way

01:52 that you haven't really seen him before.

01:54 Gina brings something out in his character

01:57 that's new and fresh.

02:00 And as far as the stunt work and stuff,

02:03 we're actually getting ready to do that now.

02:05 That was for the scene between Jason and I

02:10 where we end up,

02:11 where we end up getting close,

02:17 but it starts out as sort of like a grappling match

02:19 and I did some of the stunt work in London

02:22 just for a day.

02:23 Some of it was kind of intricate, it was cool.

02:26 Gina's relationship with Christmas is complicated

02:31 because I think they both really love each other

02:34 and it was probably the first time

02:35 they've ever let their guard down

02:37 and been vulnerable with another person like that.

02:40 And he, I think, wants to connect

02:43 but also doesn't have the capacity.

02:45 Like, he just lacks the framework and understanding

02:49 of how to have a real relationship.

02:51 And so Gina sort of feels like,

02:54 oh, I let my guard down for you

02:59 and if you are not gonna take this seriously

03:00 or if you're not gonna put in the work for this,

03:03 then, you know, it's (beep) you, I'm a player.

03:06 And so then she goes off.

03:08 And so they have this competitive

03:10 sort of cat and mouse relationship

03:12 but underneath it is just two people

03:14 who are very prideful that are in love

03:17 and don't know how to express that in a healthy way.

03:19 - You really need to be more careful.

03:22 - Make me.

03:22 (dramatic music)

03:25 - Dude, I'll charge you a favor.

03:31 - First things first.

03:35 - I mean, working with Stallone and Jason,

03:43 they've all been great

03:45 and they all have very unique personalities.

03:47 Like Dolph is very polite and like a gentleman

03:52 and Stallone is very swaggy and like funny

03:56 and then Statham is very like focused

04:00 and like goal-oriented.

04:02 Oh, well, okay, Randy, I'm a big MMA fan.

04:06 So I'm a little starstruck

04:09 because I've watched MMA for so long

04:11 and he's a legend, like an absolute legend

04:13 and really well-respected and he was an amazing fighter.

04:17 He also served our country.

04:18 So he's just a really like special person

04:23 and I have a lot of respect for people

04:26 who do that for a living

04:27 and have put themselves through those kinds of things

04:29 and they all have really good chemistry together.

04:32 They're all really funny together.

04:34 Had a good time.

04:35 And then 50's like a big teddy bear.

04:38 You can see in his eyes and like in his smile,

04:41 he has such a sparkly smile.

04:43 He's like super tender and soft on the inside and gentle.

04:46 So he's like a big teddy bear.

04:48 Everybody's just been super nice and relaxed

04:53 and the set is very, it's like a really chill vibe

04:56 and everyone gets along.

04:58 It's long hours.

04:59 Everybody manages to stay in like good moods the whole time,

05:02 which is kind of a miracle with that many lead actors.

05:06 I was expecting like somebody to be a drama queen.

05:08 There's not one.

05:10 So it's been a good time.

05:11 (upbeat music)

05:14 (upbeat music)
