50 Cent x Expendables. It’s official. 50 Cent is replacing an Academy Award winner (Forrest Whitaker) in a movie. Props to 50′s film agent. He gets mad props for pulling this one off. In the movie Expendables, 50 will play Agent Will Sands, a CIA liaison for a group of mercenaries who are clandestinely sent to South America to overthrow a dictator.

The movie already has a line-up reminiscent to a WWE fighting match: Sylvester Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Eric Roberts, Dolph Lundgren, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and UFC star Randy Couture. And then 50 Cent. This leads to the question then, why was Forrest Whitaker originally cast in this movie to begin with? Movie begins filming March 28th in Brazil and Louisiana.
