From the B-Movie Vault Issue #12: The Marine 4: Moving Target and The Marine 5: Battleground Hello, everyone, and welcome to the latest From the B-Movie Vault. I’m Bryan Kristopowitz. Despite The Marine 3: Homefront being generally bad, the direct-to-video action flick clearly made enough money for WWE Studios and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, as they all wanted another movie in the The Marine franchise with Mike “The Miz” Mizanin as The Marine, changing the casting trajectory of the franchise.
I mean, the first three The Marine movies had three different stars, with John Cena starring in the first one, Ted DiBiase, Jr. doing the second one, and The Miz doing the third. Why didn’t the WWE pick someone else to do part 4? I don’t know.
The Miz must have been enough. And when they got around to part 5 and changed distributors (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment took over for 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment), The Miz must have still been enough since he did that one, too. The Miz ended his tenure in the franchise with part 6, and so far that is the last The Marine movie.
Will we get another one at some point? I know I’d be down for a few more, but who knows? Maybe a streamer will want one. You’d think Peacock would have asked for one, since they’re still in cahoots with the WWE. Maybe Netflix will want one when Monday Night Raw goes to Netflix in 2025? I guess we’ll see.
And so, without any further what have you, check out my reviews of The Marine 4: Mo.
