David Tennant Wanted For 'FAST SIX'?

LatinoReview has word British actor David Tennant (Harry Potter, Doctor Who) is in talks with director Justin Lin for a role in Fast Six. His role is currently unknown but with the film heading to London it would make sense to sprinkle the sequel with local talent. Luke Evans is being linked for the villain role so it's possible David could be aligned with Evans or apart of Scotland Yard.

Luke Evans Offered Villain Role In 'FAST SIX'

Universal seems to be aiming high for Fast And The Furious 6. Twitch reports that Welsh actor Luke Evans has been offered the villain role which had previously Jason Statham turned down. The budding actor has all over the place lately with roles in Clash of The Titans, Robin Hood, Blitz (with Statham), Three Musketeers, Immortals, The Raven and the two Hobbit films. According to Dwayne Johnson the film will be shooting in London and Berlin. It will be starring Dwayne, Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and possibly Haywire's Gina Carano.

Gina Carano In Talks For 'FAST SIX'

HeatVision reports that MMA fighter turned action star Gina Carano (Haywire) is in talks to take a role alongside Dwayne Johnson in Fast Six. The sixth film in the Fast And The Furious franchise is said to be shooting in London and Berlin. Previously the last film has gone in a more serious/gritty direction so it will be interesting to see how adding more "real" action stars to the cast plays out. Jason Statham had been rumored for a role but has since shot down the project.

Dwayne Johnson Could Join Hercules: The Thracian Wars

Hot of the heels of a looming release of Greek mythology blockbuster Wrath of The Titans. Variety reports that MGM and director Brett Ratner are in talks with Dwayne Johnson to lead an adaptation of Steve Moore's comic Hercules: The Thracian Wars. It's expected even with Ratner attached it could end up a gritty battle focused film that hopefully turns out a mix of Conan meets Troy.

It's yet another high profile project for Johnson who has G.I. Joe: Retaliation this summer, Fast Six and Michael Bay's Pain And Gain coming out in the future. Johnson is no stranger to the swords and sandals genre with previously playing the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns and the prequel The Scorpion King. This also the second comic book character Johnson has played with aspirations to play Luke Cage for Marvel Studios. While I'm on the fence with the involvement of Ratner he's a step up from Peter Berg (Battleship, Hancock). I'm also betting that the charismatic Johnson will at least rangle this into a fun popcorn flick.
