Barring what awaits for director Scott Waugh’s Chan/Cena experiment in Hidden Strike, it’s what comes next that will undoubtedly be an inviting feat for Lionsgate following its brimming success with John Wick: Chapter 4. Indeed, it’s the return once again of Sly and co. for Expend4bles, and with that exact spelling and tagline as indicated at last year’s CinemaCon.
A new generation of stars join the world’s top action stars for an adrenaline-fueled adventure in Expend4bles. Reuniting as the team of elite mercenaries, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Sylvester Stallone are joined for the first time by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, and Andy Garcia.
Armed with every weapon they can get their hands on and the skills to use them, The Expendables are the world’s last line of defense and the team that gets called when all other options are off the table. But new team members with new styles and tactics are going to give “new blood” a whole new meaning.
Sounds a lot like what Patrick Hughes tried (and probably failed depending on who you ask) to accomplish with 2014’s The Expendables 3. At any rate the action star cadre is back once again with “new blood” as it stands…
Catch the first official trailer below and the fists, feet, bullets and knives (and phallic knife jokes) fly!
