• Update: 50 Cent Replaced By Terry Crews In Upcoming Stallone Pic

    Monday Mar 23 10:41 AM CDT posted by xxl staff

    50 Cent is “expendable” after all. Sylvester Stallone who just announced last week that the G-Unit rapper would be replacing Forrest Whitaker in his new blockbuster action flick, The Expendables, has recast the role once again.

    Ain’t It Cool News, who said Fif would be taking over for Whitaker due to the actor’s scheduling conflicts, now reports that Stallone has switched the muscle bound G-Unit leader for the equally daunting Terry Crews. There’s no word on why Fif was replaced.

    Crews is most known for his role as the hardworking father on Chris Rock’s sitcom, Everybody Hates Chris, but the former football player has also starred in a handful of movies including The 6th Day, Street Kings and the forthcoming Terminator Salvation.

    The actor will be playing Hale Caesar in The Expendables, a movie about “a team of mercenaries [that] head to South America to overthrow a dictator,” per IMDB.

    Scheduled to begin filming on March 28th, the flick will also star such action movie royalty as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham and Jet Li. It is set to hit theaters next year. - Elan Mancini

He’s looking @ me the whole time after I eat the last bite, I act like I walk away then smacc the shit outta him for coming 2 mins late! I told him to come @ 12:53 not 12:55! I told him to get me a Playstation 4 in Japan, he says, “Killa! Please I can’t get it don’t fucc me up!” I show him a pic of Tookie then go to work on that old bastard!!!

    G-Unot Killa.. where were YOU when we protested Tookie’s execution at San Quentin??

    I thought so. Hoe. Probably “decending” on a studio, asking old ladies for grape Kool Aid, and crip walking in front of monuments..

    It never “gets old” because it WAS 20 Yrs old when you started posting your “funny” stories a few years ago…

    Good save Sly Stone.

    Having 50 cent in this movie would be like joaquin phoenix replacing Loyd Banks in the G-Unit.

The world has been awaiting a artist like this, so open ya’ ears’ and put ya’ eye’s forward the futures

    Yo! Yeah that’s a good look! Crews definately has the “chops” to hold his own alongside the rest of the cast. 50 would have twisted the flow (no pun intended) of caricature. I just don’t think he would have been the guy. Who knows?
