Is The Expendables 4 streaming?

After a nine-year absence, The Expendables are back in theaters for the fourth time. Sylvester Stallone created the franchise to bring together the action stars of the past and present, and he’s back for one last turn as Barney Ross in The Expendables 4. Jason Statham is also back as Lee Christmas, the new leader of the team alongside his fellow returning cast members including Dolph Lundgren as Gunner Jensen and Randy Couture as Toll Road.

Megan Fox’s Gina is among the new additions to the team, alongside Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Easy Day, Jacob Scipio as Galan, and Levy Tran as Lash, with Tony Jaa as Decha, a former member of the team. Andy Garcia co-stars as the team’s new CIA contact, Marsh, while Iko Uwais portrays the film’s villain, Suarto Rahmat. Scott Waugh directed the film from a screenplay by Kurt Wimmer, Tad Daggerhart, and Max Adams. The story was written by Spenser Cohen, Kurt Wimmer, and Tad Daggerhart.

Now, it’s time to answer your burning question about whether The Expendables 4 is streaming right now.

Is The Expendables 4 streaming?

Lionsgate

No, not yet. Lionsgate doesn’t tend to do day-and-date streaming and theatrical releases. Plus, The Expendables 4 is the kind of action flick that’s going to play better on the big screen. And considering that there was a gap of nine years between The Expendables 3 and The Expendables 4, this sequel needs to do really well if there’s ever going to be an Expendables 5. This movie was Stallone’s way of passing the torch to Statham, but none of these guys are getting any younger. There’s only so long that they can keep playing action heroes.

Additionally, September is traditionally a weak month for movies. The Expendables 4 is projected to take home $15 million to $17 million this weekend, which might be enough to take the top spot at the box office. Next week, the competition gets more intense when Saw X and The Creator arrive in theaters as well.

Will The Expendables 4 be available to stream at home?

Yes, eventually. But don’t hold your breath. Because Lionsgate still owns the cable channel Starz, the studio’s theatrical films tend to go to Starz before streaming anywhere else. As an example, Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 4 is currently only available to view or stream on Starz unless you’re willing to pay more to rent or buy it from digital outlets. The Expendables 4 will likely follow a similar timeframe, and the soonest that you can find this film on a streamer other than Starz will be in mid-to-late 2024 at the earliest.

The Expendables 4 is now playing in theaters.

Is Kung Fu Panda 4 streaming?

In 2008, DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda introduced the world to Po (Jack Black), a clumsy and oversized panda who seemed like an odd choice to be the next Dragon Warrior. However, Po proved his detractors wrong and vanquished the evil Tai Lung (Ian McShane) before claiming the mantle as his own. This week, Po is back in theaters after an eight-year hiatus with Kung Fu Panda 4, and it's time for a new Dragon Warrior to be named.

Black and McShane are reprising their roles as Po and Tai Lung, respectively. Also returning for this film are Dustin Hoffman as Master Shifu, James Hong as Mr. Ping, and Bryan Cranston as Li Shan. Viola Davis is playing the new villain, who's known as The Chameleon. Awkwafina is co-starring as Zhen, a fox who becomes Po's ally and companion in the new film.

All The Expendables movies, ranked
The cast of The Expendables 3.

The Expendables 4 has finally been released in theaters, and that makes this the perfect time to look back at all of The Expendables movies and rank them. There are only three movies that we've seen so far, which means that this won't take too long to go over. The first movie came out in 2010, and it was the culmination of Sylvester Stallone's efforts to create an ensemble film comprised of other action stars. Stallone co-wrote the film, directed it, and starred as Barney Ross, the leader of the Expendables.

Stallone also recruited Jason Statham to portray Lee Christmas, with Jet Li as Yin Yang, Dolph Lundgren as Gunner Jensen, Randy Couture as Toll Road, and Terry Crews as Hale Caesar. With few exceptions, that team has largely remained intact in the subsequent films, with a few additions and subtractions to the cast. But the core idea has always remained in place, and this is a franchise that loves using action icons as both heroes and villains. And if The Expendables 4 is a success, then it's an easy bet that there will be more sequels in the future.

The 7 best Sylvester Stallone action movies, ranked
Sylvester Stallone wears a beret in Expend4bles.

There aren’t many Hollywood movie stars more recognizable than Sylvester Stallone. In the years since he achieved breakout success with 1976’s Rocky, which he both starred in and wrote, Stallone has gone on to have one of the most successful careers of any actor of his generation. While he’ll always be known for his work on the Rocky franchise, too, he also starred in some of the most popular action movies of the 1980s and ‘90s. In doing so, he secured his place alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and Jean-Claude Van Damme as one of the most iconic action stars of the 20th century.

Now, with Expend4bles set to hit theaters today, it's worth looking back and ranking some of the best action movies that Stallone has ever starred in. To be clear: That means most of the Rocky movies, which function more as intimate sports dramas than high-octane blockbusters, don’t qualify for this list. We also won’t be including 2021’s The Suicide Squad, which is an undeniably fun and well-made action movie, but only features Stallone in a small voice role. With that out of the way, here are the seven best action movies of Stallone’s career.
