Further talking about a hypothetical situation where Bay might have directed the fourth installment of Die Hard Willis said “[He] would have ruined DH4. Few people will work with him now, and I know I will never work with him again. A screaming Director does not make for a pleasant set experience.”

Bruce Willis Never Wanted to Be Part of Armageddon
Even though Armageddon was a good add-on to Bruce Willis’s resume the actor never wanted to be part of the movie. As per the reports back in 1997, Willis was working on a romantic sports comedy movie Broadway Brawler. Willis was deeply involved in the project both as an actor and director.
However, some unfortunate incidents and setbacks on the set caused the movie to see a complete halt. Although the Cinergi company had already spent around $17 million on the movie, they wanted to recoup their losses for which they turned to the parent company Disney. Even though Disney was ready to pay the bill they did keep a condition that involved Willis working in Disney-produced movies at only $10 million. As a result of this agreement, Willis was forced to work on Armageddon.
