Expendables 3 will not debut in theaters until August, but earlier today fans got their first taste of the action planned for the all-star action franchise’s final bow.

Starring the usual gang of Stallone, Statham, Li, Crews, Ludgren, Couture, and Schwarzenegger, the third and final entry of The Expendables‘ franchise is shaping up to be the team’s biggest adventure to date. The first trailer shows the team trotting around the globe with shots of a half dozen action sequences, and along the way reveals the addition of Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Antonio Banderas, Wesley Snipes, Kelsey Grammer (!), Kellan Lutz, Olympian Ronda Rousey, stunt performer Glen Powell, and boxer Victor Ortiz. You can view the clip below.

Experience has taught me that most movie-goers are either big fans of The Expendables series or they would rather watch literally anything else. It’s so absurd that there can be no middle ground and I, for one, could not be more thrilled to see the team return – expanded – for one more ride. We’ve seen them shoot people with bullets that make people explode, crash a plane into a mine, hang with Chuck Norris, destroy an airport, and kill countless background bad guys whose names never matter. What’s not to love?

Expendables 3 opens nationwide August 14.
