The Fast and Furious franchise has become quite plentiful in major surprises lately, which you wouldn't expect from a muscular series like this. But it's true, if you consider the big Michelle Rodriguez reveal at the end of Fast Five that surprised a number of people. There's an even bigger one that may be speeding around the corner, so considering this your warning that a major spoiler is just beyond the break....
Statham would be playing Ian Shawn, the big brother to Luke Evans' villain character. He then calls up Vin Diesel and makes a rather bold threat, setting up the next and possibly final film. It had been rumored that parts 6 and 7 would comprise one large storyarc, and this would seem to validate that.
Pretty awesome, right? Hey, told you it was a major spoiler. We'll find out if this is true or not on May 24th. For now, enjoy this brand new theatrical trailer. Vroom!!!
