The Expendables franchise has become a staple of the modern action genre, but each of the film's original three movies has shared a common complaint (which is set to be rectified in Expend4bles). All three films were moderate box office successes, even if their critical receptions left something to be desired. The hype around Expend4bles is building in anticipation of its September 2023 release, especially given the franchise's return to an R rating after the ill-receive PG-13 of The Expendables 3. The calling card of the franchise has always been its over-stuffed cast, and Expend4bles is no exception.
