Neo Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 The studio is now looking for another big star to join the next film in a small role and then be a big part of the film that follows. Denzel Washington just turned down that opportunity, but they’ll undoubtedly get somebody important by the time The Conjuring helmer James Wan starts shooting the seventh film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Angelina Jolie Neeson Fishburne Banderas Norton Damon Murphy For the role that Washington passed on. Thinking might be villain role and these guys have played villains or could do a good job as one. Also most are A-list to recognizable names which would give Fast 7/8 a box office boost.

lilmac Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 At first I rolled my eyes at the very idea of FF8 after all the hype about part 7 being the last one but just suppose Neeson was in it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Beezy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Since Fast 7 starts a new trilogy, there is going to be a Fast 9. So I want to hold off on Neeson until then. So we need a star who's relatively bigger than Statham, but not as big as Neeson. And since the role was meant for someone like Denzel, then they must want a Denzel type, making Fishburne the best option of that bunch you listed. Of course, I was the first person on this site to mention Neeson and Fishburne as potential future villains.

If Neeson is in Fast 9, then they should have him in a scene in Fast 8 similar to Staham in Fast 6.

I came up with an idea for one in the Fast 7 thread. And they're already planning a Fast 8 tease for Fast 7 according to the Denzel news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Vin has some other films he might want to do in between. He has a Hannibal Barca movie he's been wanting to do for a long time. So maybe three years in between 7 and 8.

Jay Beezy Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Because he is coming on Fast 7.The Deadline article about Denzel stated that the role is a small part in 7 that plays significantly larger in 8.
