50 Cent will be replacing Forest Whitaker in an upcoming Sylvester Stallone flick titled The Expendables.

Whitaker dropped from the flick due to a scheduling conflict and the G-Unit rapper was Stallone's next choice.

The film revolves around a group of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator.

The Expendables is expected to begin filming this month.  The film was written by Stallone and he will be also starring and directing.

The film boasts a cast of revered action stars including Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
