Vuosikymmenten varrella yksi jos toinenkin Hollywoodin iso nimi on ottanut paikkansa supersankarielokuvissa. Kaikkia tällainen ei kuitenkaan kiinnosta.
Jason Statham ilmoitti Varietylle Red Sea Film Festivalilla, ettei supersankarointi vain kiinnosta piukkoine vaatteineen ja viittoineen. Sitä paitsi maailma on jo valmiiksi riittävän hulvaton ilman supersankareita.
"I don't have a big appetite for a costume, with cape and tights...I like old school 80s movies. I was inspired by people like Stallone and Arnold. And even before those guys, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman and Eastwood. I just couldn't see any of those guys putting on a cape, and a mask and going around on wires."
"I'm drawn to a bit more of a grounded kind of action...Well, I like being grounded to be an element we inject into the crazy world that we're in."
