Count Jason Statham out of the next Fast & Furious film, as the great man turns down the chance to join the cast…
Hollywood has been noticing the marvellous work of The Statham of late, with (unconfirmed) rumours circulating that he may be joining Michael Bay’s next Transformers movie. He’d also been linked with joining the likes of The Rock and Vin Diesel in Fast & Furious 6, and as it turned out, he was offered a role.
However, The Statham, next to be seen in Safe (and then The Expendables 2 after that) seems not to have been keen on the idea. And he’s gone and turned the film down.
It’s unclear whether this was a scheduling problem, or if The Statham just didn’t fancy it. It is clear, though, that when Fast Six arrives next summer, it won’t have Statham in it.
As you were, then.
