The Expendables 4 (aka The Expend4bles, aka The ExpendFourBalls) is coming to physical media in time for Christmas.
The Expendables 4 – or The Expend4bles, if you really must – wasn’t quite the franchise resurrection that its backers had been hoping for. Arriving nine years after somebody decided that a PG-13 version of The Expendables 3 was a good idea, the sequel at least didn’t make that mistake again. Instead, it made some new ones.
Still, if you missed the movie in cinemas (many did, bluntly) and want to catch up on the series, then the fourth film, with its clunky title, is heading to DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in the UK this December.
December 11th 2023, to be exact, with a 15 certificate on the box. No confirmation yet of any extra features though, although in fairness, we’re long past the days where we tend to get a press release or anything about the majority of physical media releases. Still, we’re hearing a director’s audio commentary at least, which is a good start.
You can find the listing for the release, and glean a few extra details, here.
As for the film, it stars The Statham, Sylvester Stallone, 50 Cent, Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa and Andy Garcia amongst others, with Scott Waugh (Need For Speed) directing the movie.

Given that there doesn’t seem to be much chance now of The Expendables 5 – or The Expendabl5s as they’d no doubt call it – then this might be your last chance to see what they get to do with the saga.
We’ll leave you with the synopsis, in case you need your appetite whetting…
Reuniting as the team of elite mercenaries and armed with every weapon they can get their hands on and the skills to use them, The Expend4bles are the world’s last line of defense and the team that gets called when all other options are off the table. But new team members with new styles and tactics are going to give “new blood” a whole new meaning.
The film is up for preorder now.
