Mel Gibson, Antonio Banderas to star in 'The Expendables 3'

London: Mel Gibson and Antonio Banderas have joined veteran star Harrison Ford in Sylvester Stallone's action movie 'The Expendables 3'.

Gibson will play Stallone's adversary, while a representative for Banderas said that he and Stallone worked well together in Assassins.

The third film, to be directed by Patrick Hughes, will reportedly feature a younger group of action heroes who clash with the older generation before eventually coming together and saving the day.

The rest of the cast for The Expendables 3 has yet to be confirmed. However, a release date of August 15 next year has already been announced.

The Expendables 2 starred Stallone alongside Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham and Jet Li.
