The stage is set for the purported “final” film in the The Expendables trilogy. What started as an ode to classic, throwback ’80s action films is now becoming a hybrid of the one liner-filled cheesy action films of yesteryear with the smart, technological action films of today in The Expendables 3. With new actors joining the film (Kellen Lutz, Ronda Roussey, Victor Ortiz, Glen Powell) alongside The Expendables staples (Sylvester Stallone, Terry Crews, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Randy Couture) and other action film icons (Harrison Ford, Kelsey Grammer, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Mel Gibson), The Expendables 3 is certainly setting itself up to be include a who’s who in the genre. This first trailer for the film serves as a roll call of every major player set to share screen time.
You can read the full film synopsis below, and expect to have your theater made expendable when The Expendables 3 hits theaters on August 15th.
In THE EXPENDABLES 3, Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables — but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet.
