It may have been steamrolled by critics, but Jason Statham‘s Expend4bles is throwing haymakers on streaming again. The fourth and final installment in the testosterone-fueled Expendables franchise has bulldozed its way back into the Starz top 10 in the last week and it’s all thanks to the unexpected ripple effect of Statham’s newest theatrical hit, A Working Man. Despite debuting with a bruising 14% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the loud and brash 2023 action thriller has proven once again that audience taste doesn’t always line up with critical consensus. Expend4bles currently holds a far more respectable 69% audience rating, and fans are clearly hungry for more Statham mayhem while revisiting his most recent (and most explosive) team-up with, Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren and Tulsa King’s own Sylvester Stallone.

Expend4bles first dropped in 2023 to grim reviews and a whimper at the box office, seemingly putting a nail in the franchise’s coffin. But since landing on Starz, the film has defied expectations — spending over 200 days in the streamer’s top 10 before briefly slipping out earlier this year. Now, with the hype surrounding Statham’s current projects at an all-time high, it’s back in the ring at #7 on FlixPatrol’s global rankings.

Who Else Is In ‘Expend4bles’?

Directed by Scott Waugh — who has recently been directing Runner, the latest project for Reacher star Alan Ritchson — the movie follows Barney Ross (Stallone) and Lee Christmas (Statham) as they attempt to stop a mysterious arms dealer named Rahmat (Iko Uwais) from triggering World War III. The mission brings in new blood, including Megan Fox’s CIA agent Gina, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Easy Day, and Levy Tran as Lash, alongside franchise regulars Randy Couture and Dolph Lundgren. The film might be dumb as a brick—oh and it wears that badge proudly—but when you combine heavy artillery, over-the-top explosions, and a pile of biceps, you get exactly what Expendables fans signed up for.

Statham’s dance card is anything but empty. He’s officially set to reprise his role as Adam Clay in the upcoming sequel to The Beekeeper, though David Ayer will not return to direct. That job now belongs to Timo Tjahjanto, best known for his work on The Night Comes for Us and Nobody 2. If that wasn’t enough, Statham is also leading Mutiny, an action thriller from Blood Father director Jean-François Richet, which hits theaters January 9, 2026.
