I thought the first Expendables was very disappointing. The action was poorly directed and generally rather dull. The sequel was an improvement, but not much of one. So my interest in Expendables 3 was pretty low.
That was until director Patrick Hughes got involved.
And Jackie Chan.
Stallone is really putting together a varied and more interesting cast and crew for the third film in the series and hopefully it will pay off. Today he announced that another actor had signed on, Harrison Ford.
With it he also brought news that another Expendable wasn't coming back for the third film.
Here's the Tweet from Stallone,
WILLIS OUT… HARRISON FORD IN !!!! GREAT NEWS !!!!! Been waiting years for this!!!!

And he followed it up with this one, which I assume is about Bruce Willis.
GREEDY AND LAZY …… A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE
