When The Expendables first hit the theater in 2010, a lot of people were wondering how Sylvester Stallone managed to pull that off. The star of Rambo fame was already in his 60s at the time of its release. 13 years down the lane, the trailer of Expendables 4 has just dropped. And at 76, Stallone is showing no signs of leaving the stage.

What piqued fans’ interests the most though was the host of new additions to the upcoming action flick.

The Expendables 4 will revive the successful franchise

The Expendables franchise has been largely successful, with the trilogy having a proven track record of entertaining its viewers. These movies are a treat when it comes to blockbuster action films. No wonder a lot will be expected of the fourth entry in the franchise.

No one is more aware of this than Director Scott Waugh. Coming almost a decade after the last installment, it was imperative that the core of the film (read Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham) should be retained to attract the audience.
