Looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger had a fun first day on the set of The Expendables 3 hanging out with Harrison Ford – the newest, but definitely not youngest, member of the Expendables team.

Arnie tweeted a pic of himself, Ford and Aussie director Patrick Hughes (Red Hill) along with the message “It was a fantastic first day of filming on Expendables 3. Great to work with Harrison…”.

We’re unsure what role Ford’s character Max Drummer will play but it looks like he’s got piloting skills, if the Airforce uniform is anything to go by.

And Arnie shows no signs of longing for best bud Bruce Willis, who departed the film after contract negotiations broke down.

In the third installment of the action franchise, the gang take on Expandables co-founder and ruthless arms trader, Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson) – who’s back from apparent death at the hands of his former partner Barney (Sylvester Stallone) to destroy the team and exact revenge.

There’s more new blood this time around too, with Kellan Lutz (Twilight), Antonio Banderas (Desperado), Welsey Snipes (Blade) and boxer Victor Ortiz also joining the cast.

The Expendables 3 will hit our screens around August 2014.

You pumped for another round?

Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill…or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables, but Barney has other plans with a new era of Expendables team members, younger, faster and more tech-savvy.

Directed by Patrick Hughes, the films stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Kellan Lutz, Antonio Banderas, Dolph Lundgren, Welsey Snipes, Terry Crews, Jet Li, Glen Powell, Randy Couture, Robert Davi, Ronda Rousey and Victor Ortiz.
