Jason Statham Won’t Act in SUPERHERO MOVIES

Based on Jason Statham’s illustrious film career, I would never have imagined that the shiny headed thespian is a bit of a snob. Well known for his mindless action films, which tend to flop their way through the box office, Statham’s most recent successes are tied to his Expendables co-star Sylvester Stallone, and both actors are pretty vociferous in their opposition to superhero movies. For some reason they interpret the recent deluge of caped do-gooder films as “sissy man” movies. Does’t really make sense, does it? Especially when you compare the absolutely obnoxious, BDSM themed flicks which both Statham and Stallone have created in their separate careers (Transporter, Crank… I’m looking at you).

Well, in one of his softer-tongued statements on the issue, Statham recently commented on superhero movies:

The fascination is superheroes, it’s what people want to go and see but you wouldn’t get me rushing to the cinema to see those. I like the old-fashioned type of film. They’ve never offered me a part in one of those and I don’t think the shoes would fit. Or the cape wouldn’t fit!”

A man has the right to his own opinion, but Statham’s is just kinda shitty. I think he’d be amazing in a superhero movie, preferably as a villain, or perhaps an older Iron Fist.
