Joe Taslim, star of Gareth Evans’ smash-hit The Raid (our review), has been cast in The Fast and the Furious 6.
Taslim will feature opposite Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, and more in the sixth-quel. His character has been described as a “cold blooded killer who uses martial arts and parkour skills to fight the Fast crew”.
Not much is known about the plot, but we do know that screenwriter Chris Morgan penned the script and Justin Lin is returning to the directors chair after Fast Five grossed an astounding $626M at the worldwide box office.
Universal Pictures have already scheduled a May 24, 2013 release for the adrenaline-fuelled action sequel, with production currently underway at various locations around the world.
Taslim will next be seen in Steven Sheil’s Dead Mine before returning to his role as Jaka in Evans’ The Raid sequel Berandal.
