Lethal Weapon 5: Are Mel Gibson & Danny Glover Coming Back?

After reports about Mel Gibson and Danny Glover returning for a possible fifth installment of the Lethal Weapon franchise hit the web, fans want to know whether or not that is the case. Here is all you need to know about the buzz.

However, take all of this with a huge grain of salt as nothing has been officially confirmed by Warner Bros. or Gibson himself.

Despite the lack of confirmation, Gibson did reveal in a London interview in November 2021 (via Deadline) that he was in talks to helm Lethal Weapon 5 and also direct the film to honor his friend and original franchise producer Richard Donner, who passed away in July 2021. Later in 2022, Gibson also expressed confidence in a Screenrant interview that the film could arrive in 2023. However, as of December, no updates have been offered regarding the sequel aside from Daniel RPK’s scoop.
