However, he did not stop there. “GREEDY AND LAZY ...... A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE,” he tweeted, just a few minutes later.

Stallone’s representatives confirmed to the Huffington Post Entertainment section that the tweet was referencing Willis, but they refused to comment on the exact circumstances about the feud between Stallone and the Die Hard star.
Willis recently received attention for an awkward interview for London’s Magic 105.4 with his Red 2 costar, Mary Louise Parker.
Details have not been released about what Ford’s role in the movie will be, but his press representative confirmed that he would be playing a new character, not replacing the role of Willis’ character, Church.
Willis starred in the first two movies, along with a bevy of other action stars, including Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Dolph Lundgren, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. The third installment, directed by Patrick Hughes, will add stars like Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage, and Milla Jovovich. Mel Gibson and Kellan Lutz are also rumored to be joining the cast. It begins filming in mid-August, and is set to arrive in theaters on November 15, 2014.
