Fast and Furious 7: Why Jason Statham is a Perfect Fit (VIDEO)

By now, many “Fast and Furious” fans know action movie star Jason Statham is slated for the seventh installment. He will play Ian Shaw, brother of “Fast and Furious 6” bad guy Owen Shaw. The story will most likely focus on the revenge of Ian Shaw. So what makes Jason Statham the perfect fit for the next fast and furious? Let’s take a look.

Cars: The “Transporter” movies make up one of the most famous series in Statham’s careers. High-speed chases were a staple in the movies—since they involve tales of a highly-overqualified driver. While the “Transporter” films may not have had the high powered cars in “Fast and Furious 6”—for example a 1969 Dodge Charger, 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, 2006 Aston Martin Vanquish and 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8, according to ScreenRant. Transporter did have cars like the Audi A8 D3, BMW 3 E36 and Mercedes-Benz CLS, according to IMCDb. So, while those movies were not on the “car level” of “Fast and Furious,” Statham is no novice behind the wheel.

Women: Another thing Statham is not a stranger to—beautiful women. For example his latest movie starred Jennifer Lopez. If for any reason you don’t know Jennifer lopez and don’t know how beautiful she is, please refer to the evidence below, courtesy of YouTube use 020Casawi:

Other woman that have starred in movies with Statham? Amy Smart, Saffron Burrows, and Natalie Martinez are just a few.

Action: This word defines Jason Statham’s career, from “Mean Machine” all the way to “Parker.” Almost, if not every, movie Statham has done includes explosions, gun shots, and a good old fist fight.

So, will Statham have to make any adjustments to the “Fast and Furious?” franchise? Not really, he should be just fine.
