The full-length trailer for Lionsgate and Millennium Films third installment of the Expendables has been released, and it’s packed with action and Eminem’s “Bezerk.”
The first film, directed by Sylvester Stallone, raked in a total of $274,470,394 worldwide. The second film, released two years later in 2012, was directed by Simon West and grossed $311,979,256 worldwide.
Expendables 3 reunites key cast members Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture. Additional stars that will appear in Expendables 3 include Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Kelsey Grammer, Kellan Lutz, Antonio Banderas, and many more.
Below is the film’s official plot summary:
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.
The action film is rated PG-13, which Stallone said in Cannes was done in order “to reach as many people as possible. It’s very close to an R, believe me, it’s right there. But I think we owe it to the next generation. We thought we’d join that club for a while.”
Director Patrick Hughes’ Expendables 3 opens in theaters August 15.
