Fans, who were present during the trailer launch event, were able to get to know more about the "Fast and Furious 7" new villain. Jason Statham made a cameo in the post-credits of "Fast & Furious 6" which caused so much excitement to the viewers. Here's a clip of the intense car racing scene which revealed how Han (Sung Kang) died:
The post-credits scene gave fans a hint as to who would be the new villain in "Fast and Furious 7" or also called "Furious 7". Jason Statham is known for portraying badass characters. He appeared in films such as "The Transporter", "Revolver", "Death Race" and the "Expendables" film series.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 47-year old British actor shared his experience working with the cast. He said, "There's nothin' better than that car stuff. I've never seen anything to compare to it. And Vin [Diesel] is terrific. Everybody in it is just terrific. They're a great little crew. I know Tyrese. I know Paul Walker. I've met all of them, and they're all really cool. I'm really excited to be involved with it... I'm just not gonna tell ya what I'm gonna do."
The "Furious 7" cast also feels the same way about Jason Statham, except for Tyrese Gibson who called him a bully. Of course, it was only a joke and the singer later on showered him with praises and even tagged him as a sex symbol.
Tyrese Gibson told E!, "I think Jason poured his accent a little heavy today." He joked, "I see what you're doing, with all the ladies out here." The 35-year old actor also said, "When I heard that he's coming to the family, it was definitely an extension of the family, so we welcome him to the family."
He added, "Jason is here, you're gonna feel his energy and presence in the franchise. He came here to contribute his energy." Vin Diesel agreed to that and said, "He's incredible." He added, "The amount of work that we did for our third act fight sequence, I was just so happy that he was just so gung ho about it and so dedicated."
The actor that played Dominic Torreto also revealed, "We both walked away with a lot of injuries... nothing permanent." Jason Statham stars as Ian Shaw, the brother of "Fast & Furious 6" villain Owen Shaw, who died in the movie. So most probably he was seeking revenge for his brother's death and so goes Vin Diesel and the gang for Han's death. Find out who will win in the battle between Shaw and the Fast family on April 4, 2015.
