The action-packed Expendables franchise began in 2010 with a film directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone, alongside action stars like Jason Statham, Jet Li, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Subsequent movies in 2012, 2014, and 2023 brought in even more big names, including Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Megan Fox. Despite its star power, the fourth film underperformed at the box office, earning only $51 million with a $100 million production cost, leaving the future of a potential Expendables 5 uncertain.
