Luke Evans offered the villain role in Fast And Furious 6 [2nd May 2012 00:00:00]

Luke Evans, the Welsh actor best known for roles in Immortals, The Raven and Tamara Drewe, has apparently been offered the lead villain role in The Fast And The Furious 6 (or Fast Six, or whatever it ends up being called).

Twitch is reporting that the actor - who'll next be seen in The Hobbit - has been offered the role previously turned down by Jason Statham, which would see him joining returning members of the testosterone-fuelled franchise including Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson.

The rumour mill has recently been suggesting that Michelle Rodriguez will also be returning, and Haywire star Gina Carano is also in talks for a role.

When you factor in other rumour that's been doing the rounds recently - namely that Rihanna is also in talks for a villain role - Fast Six could see some gender balance restored to the franchise's ass-kickery. Although we're not holding our breath on that last rumour just yet... Source: www.totalfilm.com

Dwayne Johnson is sure Fast And Furious 6 will happen [7th June 2011 23:55:45]

Dwayne Johnson has revealed that he's sure a sixth Fast & Furious movie is about to spin into production.

The actor recently starred in Fast Five, the fifth film in the car-obsessed movie series, which cleaned up nicely at the box office.

There's already been talk of a sixth film that would focus more on a heist story than just continuing the series' love affair with car chases, and Johnson sounds interested in returning.

"I'm sure they're getting ready to start writing away," he tells Access Hollywood. "The best part about the success of Fast Five is the fact of how much the fans love it."

Johnson has one condition for signing up to a sequel, though. "Well, it all depends? on how much ass I could kick in that movie," he jokes.

Next up for Johnson could be a role in G. I. Joe 2, with the actor currently in negotiations to play a character called Roadblock. Badass. Source: www.totalfilm.com
