Indy meets Rocky—Harrison Ford joins the cast of "The Expendables 3"; Bruce Willis departs





Keep in mind that you never know how trustworthy Twitter can be, but I will admit this is straight from the account of Sly Stallone himself.  The sexagenarian tweeted the other night that septuagenarian Harrison Ford would be joining the cast of the third Expendables movie.  No news on what role he’ll play but I can’t imagine it would be a major part.  Then again I could be wrong.  Maybe he’ll be a badass general? The villain alongside Mel Gibson?  Hard to say.

There’s even a possibility that he may take over the role of Mr. Church, as Bruce Willis has departed the project—over $1,000,000.  This further solidifies how much of a douche he really  is.  Guess Kevin Smith was right. 

I’ve only seen the first Expendables movie and I really didn’t care for it.  Despite the impressive cast, I felt everyone was trying too hard and it just came across as ridiculous.  The second one received much more positive reviews and is available on Netflix streaming so I’ll probably check it out eventually.  After all it does have Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme in it. 

Maybe it’s me but I almost feel like this role is beneath Harrison Ford.  He just seems too classy of an actor for a second rate action franchise. 

The Expendables 3 releases August 15th of next year.
