"Willis Out... Harrison Ford In!!!! Great News!!!!!" tweeted Expendables star Sylvester Stallone. "Been waiting years for this!!!!"
Willis played the role of Church in the first two films, which saw Stallone as the leader of a group of mercenaries.
It is not yet known what role Ford will play in the third instalment.
Stallone apparently went on to criticise Willis on Twitter, calling the actor "greedy and lazy" and saying it was "a sure formula for career failure".
Willis has yet to respond to the slight, which a Stallone spokesman later confirmed had been directed at the Die Hard star.
The Expendables topped the US box office chart when it opened in August 2010, a feat repeated when its sequel was released two years later.
Together the first two instalments in the franchise have earned almost $575m (£375m) worldwide.
The Expendables 3, due for release in August 2014, will also star Jason Statham, Nicolas Cage and Jackie Chan.
Stallone, 67, will next be seen opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger - another member of the Expendables ensemble - in prison drama Escape Plan.
