Review: The Expendables 5 – First Trailer Drops a Bomb of Pure Adrenaline

Just when you thought the Expendables crew was done blowing stuff up — they’re back. And this time, they brought Jackie Chan and The Rock with them.

The first trailer for The Expendables 5 is everything action fans have been waiting for: explosions, ridiculous one-liners, slow-motion walk-ins, and an absolutely bonkers cast that looks like it could physically punch the Earth off its axis.

Sylvester Stallone returns one last time as Barney Ross, leading the OG crew into what’s teased as their most dangerous mission yet — stopping a rogue private military force that’s got its hands on next-gen weaponry. The twist? They’ll need help from two legends: Jackie Chan as a retired intel ghost with a mysterious past, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a former enemy turned ally who brings both muscle and charisma to the table.

The trailer delivers everything you’d expect: helicopters flying through fireballs, Jackie doing his signature improvised fight choreography (yes, he uses a ladder), and The Rock literally flipping a tank. It’s loud, absurd, and completely self-aware — exactly what this franchise is all about.

The tone hints at a darker edge this time around, with lines like “This is the last job… one way or another,” suggesting that not everyone’s walking away from this one. But let’s be real — we’re here for the action. And this trailer does not disappoint.

Final Verdict: If the movie’s half as fun as this trailer, we’re in for a legendary send-off. Action cinema might never be the same again.

Hype Level: 11/10
Tagline (fan-made): “Legends never retire. They reload.”
