Statham Confirms TRANSPORTER 3 and More.

Action star Jason Statham has confirmed that he will be starring in the TRANSPORTER 3, which answers a question a lot of us had after a possible director announcement last week.  The actor confirmed it in a interview with Silas Lesnick over at IESB as well as just talking about his dream jobs of the future. One of them was about being a comic superhero and sure enough, he let us know that he did have a meeting for Sub-Mariner. That's not to say he's going to star in that particular project because even the actor poked fun at the thought of himself in speedos.

IESB: Are there any comic book characters that you’d like to play in a film?

Statham: Yeah, absolutely. That’d be another area of my wishlist. I’d love to play one, yeah.

IESB: Anyone in particular?

Statham: Let me think… It’s funny, I took a meeting for Sub-Mariner. I don’t know if I’d look right running around in a tight speedo with wings on my ankles but there’s so many cool fucking characters. The Hulk, I’ve always been a big fan of but Ed Norton’s doing that. And rightly so. He’s fucking amazing. And he’s working with Louis Leterrier, believer it or not who did The Transporter. I’m trying to think of what would be a good comic book character for me to play. You know, there’s talk of them redoing The Crow. That was a good movie with Brandon Lee, although that was years ago. So if that one comes my way, bang! You know, there’s so many comic book movies out there and most of the time there’s only a handful of people who can do them any justice. Hopefully, they’ll come my way for one of them.
