The actress appeared to confirm Statham's casting while promoting the upcoming Fast & Furious 6, telling DesdeHollywood.com: "Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson - when you see these guys in a room you know they belong together. You can see in their eyes that they have gone through a lot. I applaud Universal for getting him on board."
New director
It's not yet known which part the British star will play in the movie, but the report hints that Statham's character could be related to Fast & Furious 6 villain Owen Shaw, played by Luke Evans.
