Lionsgate has officially released the explosive first trailer for The Expendables 5, and it’s exactly what fans have been waiting for — bigger stunts, louder explosions, and an even more legendary lineup of action icons. The fifth installment of the beloved action franchise is bringing in new firepower with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jackie Chan, alongside returning veterans Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture.
The trailer opens with a chaotic arms deal in the deserts of Libya, interrupted by Barney Ross (Stallone) and his team in a full-blown tactical assault. Within seconds, bullets fly, fists land, and a missile takes out a convoy in true Expendables fashion.
But the twist? Dwayne Johnson plays Mason Cross, a rogue government operative turned global threat, with a personal vendetta against Barney. “You built this team on blood and brotherhood,” he growls, “but I’m here to finish it with fire.”
The trailer also reveals Jackie Chan in a pivotal role as Li Cheng, a retired Chinese general with deep intel connections and unmatched martial arts skill. In one jaw-dropping scene, he takes down five mercenaries using nothing but a bamboo cane and a grenade pin.
🎬 Directed by Scott Waugh (Hidden Strike, Need for Speed), The Expendables 5 promises gritty realism mixed with over-the-top sequences — from helicopter chases through Hong Kong to underwater knife fights in the Baltic.

-
Statham riding a motorcycle off a collapsing bridge while dual-wielding SMGs
