Stallone forced to listen to backlash over Whitaker's Expendables replacement - Fiddy out Crews in

It was recently announced 50 cent would be replacing Forest Whitaker in Stallone's Expendables project to the disgruntlement of many looking forward to the film. Well it seems for once, fan reaction has made a difference with Stallone apparantly set to change his mind again.

Stallone came out with support for "Fiddy" the other day telling his forums, "The anger of the casting of 50 Cent is understandable, but not fair. A player is only as good as his coach. If a man can communicate in one medium, he can communicate in another if his strengths are brought out and he has the support of well-wishers. So, trust me, the change of Forest Whitaker to 50 Cent AKA Curtis Jackson is a good one."

But this didnt stop legions of fans in their slating of the rapper turned actor, many fearing a repeat of his poor performance in get rich or die trying would ruin the expendables credibility. With so many big names already attached did the film really need someone getting so much negative feedback already ?

Obviously Stallone has had a change of heart and decided his homecoming movie of hollywood greats is too important to jepodise.

The more commercially popular Terry Crews , who has starred in films such as the longest yard and terminator salvation, has been cast in the role both Whitaker and 50 cent previously occupied. Whether this remains to be the case only time will tell !

Are you happier to see Crews replace Whitaker or should Fiddy have been given a chance ?

add your thoughts below.
