The Expendables 5 (2026)


Starring: Sylvester Stallone • Jason Statham • Cristiano Ronaldo • Keanu Reeves
The Expendables V detonates onto the screen with explosive force—a high-octane return to the brutal, no-nonsense action franchise where muscle, skill, and sheer stubbornness are the only currencies that matter. The world is fractured, the bad guys are smarter, and the Expendables are older—but they still pack enough firepower to make chaos regret standing up.
Sylvester Stallone reprises his iconic role as Barney Ross, the grizzled leader whose humor is as dry as his bullet scars and whose loyalty binds the Expendables more tightly than any ideology. Barney’s voice may be rougher, but his instincts are sharper than ever.
Jason Statham’s Lee Christmas is the consummate specialist—gritty, relentless, and lethal with any weapon within reach. He’s the storm unleashed on countryside and city alike.
Cristiano Ronaldo lands in an unexpected but electrifying role as Rafael “Raze” Cruz, an elite international operative drafted into the team for his unparalleled discipline, speed, and combat conditioning. Not just a name, not just power—Raze fights with precision and athletic brutality that elevates every confrontation.
Keanu Reeves steps in as Jonah Frost, a haunted former intelligence specialist turned mercenary whose calm, calculating style masks a past tangled with red lines and dirty orders. Where others rely on brute force, Frost dismantles threats with eerie calm and surgical intent.
A cascade of violent coups, arms proliferation, and cryptic data leaks shows a sinister alliance between rogue states and ultra-private military companies. Intelligence pinpoints a secret project calling itself Project Ragnarok—an arsenal capable of neutralizing entire nations with a single deployment. Nuclear missiles would be simple in comparison.
The Expendables are dispatched with a single objective: infiltrate, expose, and obliterate Ragnarok before its architects turn the world into their playground.
This installment cranks the franchise’s signature action into cinematic overdrive:
This is not action for spectacle alone—every stunt, every firefight is anchored in threat and risk. Practical effects anchor the chaos in reality, while choreography favors impact over flash.
Beneath the bullets and explosions, The Expendables V is about legacy, trust, and whether a team built on violence can still stand for something better than itself. Barney, Lee, Raze, and Frost are more than warriors—they are proof that experience cannot be replaced, only shredded in battle.
Every alliance is tested. Every betrayal hits deep. And amid the debris of war, they discover that the only thing more dangerous than the enemy…
is the lingering doubt that they still matter.
The final assault pits four unstoppable forces against a fortress bristling with death. The odds are impossible—booby traps, enhanced mercenaries, and war machines designed to end wars before they begin. But the Expendables aren’t just a team… they are an avalanche in human form.
