Expendables 5: The Last Ride (2026)
Starring Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, Megan Fox, and Arnold Schwarzenegger
The world’s most dangerous veterans return to the big screen for a definitive final mission that completely redefines the concept of overkill. In Expendables 5: The Last Ride, the torch has officially been passed to Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), who now leads the elite mercenary unit with his signature blend of grit and surgical precision. However, the stakes become personal when the legendary Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) is framed for a catastrophic global cyber-terrorist plot. To clear the name of their founder and prevent the outbreak of World War III, the old guard must reunite with the new blood for a high-stakes rescue mission that spans the globe.
Megan Fox returns to the fray as Gina, portraying a character who is sharper and more lethal than ever before. Clad in cutting-edge high-tech tactical gear, she transforms every stealth operation into a masterclass of deadly elegance and efficiency. Her tactical brilliance and cold-blooded charisma steal the spotlight, proving that in a world dominated by muscle and testosterone, she is the ultimate predator. Alongside her, Lee Christmas handles his knives with his usual flawless expertise, reminding both his enemies and his allies why he serves as the tactical heart of the team.
The action escalates to an entirely new level as the team traverses a variety of dangerous landscapes, moving from the gleaming, neon-lit skyscrapers of Hong Kong to the unforgiving, frozen tundras of Siberia. Audiences can expect massive, practical explosions, bone-crunching hand-to-hand combat sequences, and an impressive arsenal of weaponry powerful enough to level a small nation. The emotional weight of the film is further bolstered by the surprise return of Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose cigar-chomping presence brings a wave of nostalgia that hits just as hard as the heavy-caliber bullets.
Expendables 5 is a high-octane celebration of grit, glory, and the unbreakable bond of brotherhood. It stands as a stylish, brutal, and unapologetic tribute to the icons of action cinema who have defined the genre for decades. As the last line of defense for a world on the brink, the team prepares for their final curtain call the only way they know how: with guns blazing, hearts heavy, and a killer attitude.
