I'm wondering how many films he's done where he hasn't punched someone in the face.

Sometimes he mixes things up by punching a giant shark in the face.

Just watched the trailer, looks absolutely ridiculous. Can't wait, plus it's David Ayer who knows a thing or two about action films.

I will say, I watched the trailer with my GF and her comment spoke to my soul.....

"Why can't they give this man a franchise of his own? He basically plays the same character in every film anyway...."

She's not wrong and once again I will point out it's one of cinema's biggest travesties they never cast him as Agent 47 and then just spun off 20 Hitman films. Don't tell me watching Jason Statham murdering people in locations all over the world wouldn't make money rofl

The Transporter, The Expendables, The Meg and Crank. Plus the F+F films.

He's done ok I would say.

Not saying he hasn't, just saying there was a franchise right there that could have been built around him smile

While I know John Bernthal has made the role his own, I always thought Statham would have made a good big screen Punisher.

Feel like the trailer got steadily worse the longer it went on. I will still watch it, brain out action films I cant get enough of.

A friend of mine worked on the first one. Apparently there was some competition for kids to win time on the set, the winner turned up one day expecting to see some stuff and get a T-shirt but once JS heard the kid had arrived he stopped and went and spent quite a bit of time with him, as in delaying work time, answering questions and showing him around the set, etc.

Makes me think that sometimes, not everyone is an a*hole.

I must admit to not being the biggest Jason Statham fan, but I did spend some time watching the first one and quite enjoyed it. Will give the sequel a go too!
