Úgy hírlik hogy Gibson fogja rendezni az ötödik Halálos fegyver muvit aminek a forgatókönyvén állítólag a második feláldozhatókos muvi, a két A védelmező muvi és a Jack Reacher: Nincs visszaút... stb. egyik írója dolgozik.
"According to London’s The Sun Gibson said Donner “was developing the screenplay and he got pretty far along with it. And he said to me one day, "Listen, Kid, if I kick the bucket, you will do it.". And I said, "Shut up.". “He did indeed pass away. But he did ask me to do it and, at the time, I didn’t say anything. He said it to his wife and to the studio and the producer. So, I will be directing the fifth one.”
