According to Australian website What's Playing, Gibson is considering using the action franchise to help rehabilitate his career following the leaked audio recordings of him arguing with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
An insider said: “They’re talking again. Mel probably needs Joel, not to mention Lethal Weapon now more than ever, so I wouldn’t at all be surprised if it comes off this time.
"And it could be a good move, that’s a mighty big brand name - it probably would help Gibson, professionally-speaking.”
A fifth Lethal Weapon movie was recently touted in 2008, with original screenwriter Shane Black penning a story that would reunite cops Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh. However, Gibson turned down the chance to return and the project collapsed.
