Harrison Ford is joining the cast of The Expendables 3 and it’s ‘great, ‘exciting,’ and ‘fun,’ he told Access Hollywood. 

Sylvester Stallone announced the news on Twitter, while at the same time revealing Bruce Willis’ departure from the movie franchise (apparently due to his high money demands), according to Digital Spy. 

However, although Ford is filling Willis’ heavy boots, he will be playing a brand new character. 

Antonio Banderas and Mel Gibson are also confirmed newcomers to the movie, with Gibson tipped to be the bad guy.  

The action-packed movie is expected for release in August 2014.
