It was originally unclear if about Jason Statham’s character, Lee Christmas, but a previous report from The Hollywood Reporter indicated that it will be a little bit of both. It appears Statham will have a bigger role than Sylvester Stallone this time around. In fact, Stallone wrote on Instagram back in October that he was done with the franchise and “ready to pass the baton on to Jason.”
In addition to Statham and Stallone, the upcoming fourth installment will star Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa, Randy Couture, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, Andy Garcia, and Iko Uwais. Uwais is set to play the movie’s villain. Last year, Statham took to Instagram to praise The Raid star’s work.
“A real honour to spend some screen time with the incredibly talented @iko.uwais. A true master of his game and a powerhouse of speed and skills that take a lifetime to achieve. Massive respect for all that you do brother,” Statham wrote. “Huge respect brother. Such an honor to be in one frame with you.. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼,” Uwais replied.
“Experience is very valuable for me to share a frame with senior players, who have a lot of experience. There are a lot of things that we share, what we think about them, beyond expectations,” Uwais previously told Okezone.
