If there's one certainty about the upcoming Expend4bles action movie, it's that it will be rated R. Red Band's official trailer for Expend4bles, also known as The Expendables 4, promises "lots of violence, blood and guts." In fact, the fourth installment of the popular Expendables franchise marks the return of two key characters: Sylvester Stallone (Tulsa King) as Barney Ross, the leader of the Mercenaries, and Jason Statham as Lee Christmas, Ross' second-in-command and knife expert. The Mercenaries stoped a terrorist known as Suarto (Iko Uwis from The Raid) from igniting a nuclear conflict between Russia and the United States.
Without a doubt, everyone knows the franchise for its large ensemble of well-known action stars. In fact, reprising their roles from previous installments are Dolph Lundgren (Section Eight) as Gunner Jensen and Randy Couture (Blowback) as Toll Road. In addition, the new cast members include Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson (Power) as Easy Day, Megan Fox (Transformers) as Gina, Tony Jaa (Furious 7) as Decha, Jacob Scipio (Bad Boys for Life) as Galan, Levy Tran (The First Purge) as Lash, and Andy Garcia (Father of the Bride) as Marsh.
Scott Waugh is the filmmaker of Expand4bles and the script is from Kurt Wimmer (Law Abiding Citizen), Tad Daggerhart (Black Lotus) and Max Adams (The Terminal List). Indeed, the script is based on a story by Wimmer, . Like the first two installments, Expend4bles will have an R rating. The third film, the highest grossing film in the series, was PG-13. Also, there is no indication as to whether there will be any appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has been present in the three previous installments.
Expend4bles will hit theaters on September 22.
