Jason Statham’s Original Action Franchise Revival Chances Addressed By Director

The Transporter director Louis Leterrier addresses a possible reunion with star Jason Statham for another installment. Released in 2002, The Transporter introduces Statham as criminal driver Frank Martin, serving as the actor’s first major foray into the action genre after the likes of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. Statham would return for two sequels, one in 2005 and one in 2008, but would opt not to reprise his role for The Transporter Refueled in 2015, which saw actor Ed Skrein take on the role of Martin.
