Consumables 4 I just received a trailer before it hits theaters on September 22nd. The official title is “Expend4bles”. Almost a decade has passed since the release of the third film, and the footage reveals a host of new faces, including Megan Fox and 50 Cent, who would presumably push the star-studded action franchise forward. Sylvester Stallone marks his final appearance as leader Barney Ross and hands over the baton to knife expert Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), who will assume the leadership role. Scott Waugh – best known for the film Need for Speed - is directing Expendables 4, which brings the gang of mercenaries back for another world-saving mission.
The trailer too Expend4bles begins with Lee Christmas (Statham) goes through the story of his ex-girlfriend Gina (Fox) drawers to find a confidential document. “Oh I’m sorry. “You weren’t invited,” she tells Lee as he tries to accompany her on a secret mission talked about in these pages. Next is a bizarre sexual fight sequence between the two, in which they try to get to the file.Fast-forward to the next morning: Leader Ross (Stallone) comes by to say hello and to update his deputy Lee about their latest mission.”I need better friends,” Lee mutters, annoyed – a clever way to wrap up the trailer and give a glimpse of the new cast joining in.
First is Easy (50 cents), who seems quite concerned about his aged sniper Gunner’s illness (Dolph Lundgren) Capabilities. Gunner claims that he has a scope on his gun for better vision. “Look, hawk eyes, remember that face. Don’t shoot it by accident,” Easy warns – a direct nod to the time 50 Cent was shot in the cheek in real life, causing him to slur slightly. “Terrorists have seized nuclear missiles on a cargo ship offshore,” said CIA agent Marsh (Andy Garcia) describes the mission to his team in the Expendables 4 trailer. “When these babies go, there will be World War III.” Our heroes are then seen preparing to parachute onto the cargo ship and penetrate its tightly secured corners. Although Stallone features frequently in the shots, it’s worth noting that he only appeared on screen for a small portion of it – this being his last appearance in the franchise and all. Meanwhile Statham allegedly takes up 80 percent of screen time.
As expected, the Expendables 4 trailer will soon reveal a series of action sequences revealing the main antagonists. We have Suarto played by Iko Uwais (The Raid: Redemption), whose reputation as a true martial artist shines through in this film as he takes on Lee in hand-to-hand knife combat. “You prefer this life to friends and family,” Ross explains as we are confronted with massive explosions provided by the team’s demolitions expert Toll Road (Randy Couture). We see fighter jets launching a barrage of missiles, the cargo ship being sunk sideways and plenty of vehicle combat. Other new additions to the cast include: Tony Yeah (monster hunter), Levy Tran (The Haunting of Hill House) and Jacob Scipio (Without Remorse).
Expend4bles hits theaters worldwide on September 22nd.
