The new movie is expected to be out Nov. 15, 2014 according to Freep.com, and will be distributed by Lionsgate Studios.

"Expendables 2" was released August 2012, and made $300 million starring a slew of '80s and '90s action stars.

Aside from Ford, "Expendables 3" will feature Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage, and Milla Jovovich.

Other big names associated with the films are Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Damme, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Terry Crews, Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren.

Ford is also open to another Indiana Jones movie, which would be the fifth in the series.

"We've seen the character develop and grow over a period of time," he told The Daily Telegraph.

"To me, what was interesting about the character was that he prevailed, that he had courage, that he had wit, that he had intelligence, that he was frightened and that he still managed to survive. That I can do," the 71-year-old actor said.
