Expend4bles (also known as The Expendables 4) is a 2023 American action comedy film[4] and the fourth installment in The Expendables franchise, following The Expendables 3 (2014). The film stars an ensemble cast consisting of Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Randy Couture and Andy Garcia. It is directed by Scott Waugh from a screenplay by Kurt Wimmer, Tad Daggerhart and Max D. Adams, based on a story by Spenser Cohen, Wimmer and Daggerhart.
Expend4bles was released in mainland China on September 15, 2023, and in the United States a week later, by Lionsgate. The film received negative reviews from critics with praise for Statham’s performance and action sequences, but criticized its script, Stallone's limited screen time, direction, some of the new characters and VFX. It has grossed $51 million worldwide against a budget of $100 million, making it a box-office bomb. It was nominated for seven Golden Raspberry Awards, winning two, for Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Supporting Actress.
