Well, strange things happen after all.
According to the latest reports,
Jason Statham is no longer interested to star in the upcoming sixth entry in the
Fast and Furious franchise.
As you already know,
Fast & Furious 6 will be directed by
Justin Lin, and as for the rest of the cast – don't worry,
Dwayne Johnson and
Vin Diesel are expected to return for the whole thing.
So, we all knew that Statham was in talks with Universal Pictures to join the movie and to star in the sixth and seventh installments that were supposed to be shot back-to-back in Europe this year.
Now, it looks that there will be no deal between the studio and action star and at this moment it is unknown if guys from Universal will look for his replacement.
Production on
Fast & Furious 6 begins next month and is already slated to open on May 24th, 2013.
