Mel Gibson has confirmed that Lethal Weapon 5 is "absolutely on the way" and revealed director Richard Donner is working on the project.
The 64-year-old actor, who played LAPD detective Martin Riggs in the action franchise alongside his mismatched co-worker Danny Glover, said Donner was already working on the next film.
Asked on Good Morning America if the movie is still happening, Gibson said: "Yeah! No absolutely.
"And the man who was behind all that – the man who brought it to the screen and gave it the goodies is working on it right now: Richard Donner. He's a legend."
Producer Dan Lin, who worked on the 'Lethal Weapon' TV series, revealed earlier this year that he and Donner were working on reviving the action buddy cop series, 22 years after the release of Lethal Weapon 4.
Lin said: "We're trying to make the last Lethal Weapon movie. And Dick Donner's coming back. The original cast is coming back. And it's just amazing. The story is very personal to him."
