List of movies in which the central character(s) have retired from being a special operative/assassin/whatever and get called back for one last job and it gets a bit shooty and they probably turn it into a franchise

[K]

You know what I mean.

The central premise is that they're retired, or have stepped down from their exciting role into a duller one, and get pulled back for whatever reason. 

Off the top of my head:

John Wick 1, 2, 3, 4
Beekeeper
Nobody
Equalizer 1, 2, 3
Taken 1, 2, 3
Expendables 1, 2, 3, 4
Olympus, London, Angel has Fallen
RED 1, 2

What have I missed?

[Naitch]

Men in Black II

[Colly]

Highlander 2: The Quickening

[GoGo Yubari]

The Foreigner is the Jackie Chan iteration of those movies.

Star Trek Picard season 3

NOBODY has missed that steaming pile. And Endgame knocks it out of canon, anyway.

If you must watch it, watch `The Renegade Version', which is a Director's Cut the director did on his own, and removes some straight up bullshit from the original version.

Also, forget Highlander: The Source even exists. Its total crap, Adrian Paul begged out but was forced to do it because of his contract, and it undermines the entire franchise by changing the nature of `The Prize'. This is how shit it is: 

Spoiler

We were told the last Immortal would gain power and knowledge. In every fucking film AND the series. Nope. The last Immortal gains the ability....to have children. 

The tv series producer even refuses to acknowledge it as canon!

[VerbalPuke]

Rambo! 

Edit - Maybe more the sequels. 

[King Ellis]

Double Team with JCVD and Dennis Rodman. Decades before Indiana Jones hid in a fridge during a nuclear blast, JCVD hid behind a vending machine whilst an amphitheater exploded.

[Gazz]

Toy Story

[Chris2K]

Somehow they managed it with Bond in Skyfall, SPECTRE, AND No Time to Die.

Godfather Pt. 3

[Kyle]

Does Man on Fire count?

I'm not interested in anything after, or before, Highlander 2: The Quickening.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls

Thread title is not specific enough Keith.

The correct answer is Unforgiven.

Would Demolition Man count?

He's not so much retired as he is brought out of cryogenic stasis but it's close enough.
