I love The Expendables franchise. It knows exactly what its audience wants and gives it to them. I want to see Arnold drive around in a Mini while spouting off cheesy 80’s catchphrases as he mows down guys with an assault rifle. As long as Stallone keeps making them, I will keep seeing them.
Sly just sent out this tweet which indicates that Indiana Jones himself has joined the party for The Expendables 3.
WILLIS OUT… HARRISON FORD IN !!!! GREAT NEWS !!!!! Been waiting years for this!!!!

So now we can add Deckard to the growing cast which already boasts the series regulars, a returning Mickey Rourke, Wesley Snipes, Ronda Rousey, Jackie Chan and Mel Gibson.
Now you noticed in that tweet that Stallone announced Bruce Willis would not be returning for a third trip down action movie memory lane. Stallone’s next tweet would indicate that it was not exactly a simple deal of being too busy to come back.
GREEDY AND LAZY …… A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE

Damn. It would seem that was directed at Willis and I am sure Kevin Smith would echo the sentiment if he was asked about it.
The Expendables 3 is filming this fall and releases on August 15, 2014.
