The latest onExpendables 3is thatKellen Lutzwas in talks to joina rival younger group of stars who’d be opposed the main team featuring Sylvester Stallone,Jason Statham,Dolph Lundgren,Terry CrewsandRandy Couture. Among the other names attached (or, rumored to be attached in most cases) areMel Gibsonas a villain,Jackie Chan,Steven Seagal,Wesley Snipesand others.
Ford was rumored to be part of the film a while back but, as per Stallone’s tweet, maybe a deal or schedule couldn’t be worked out in time. This marks yet another major sequel for the star: he’s inAnchorman: The Legend Continuesand all but assuredly inStar Wars Episode VII. That second one isn’t confirmed yet, of course, but Ford joining this film certainly will cut into any time he may have to shoot the J.J. Abrams film.
As for Willis' departure, it’s not really that big of a loss. He was awesome in the second film but his character was always on the outside looking in. It’s not like he’s dead, probably just not part of this particular story.
Of note though is Stallone followed the above tweet with this one. Maybe he’s referring to Willis?
GREEDY AND LAZY …… A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE
The Expendables 3will be out June 24, 2025. Expect more official information on it very soon.
