Jason Statham (/ˈsteɪθəm/ STAY-thəm; born 26 July 1967) is an English actor and producer. He is known for portraying tough, gritty, or violent characters in various action thriller films and has been credited for leading the resurgence of action films during the 2000s and 2010s. By 2017, his films had grossed over £1.1 billion ($1.5 billion), making him one of the industry's most bankable stars. While working at local market stalls, Statham began practising Chinese martial arts, kickboxing, and karate recreationally in his youth. An avid footballer and diver, he was a member of Britain's national diving team and competed for England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Shortly after, he was asked to model for French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, and Levi's in various advertising campaigns. Statham's history of working at market stalls inspired his casting in the Guy Ritchie crime films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000). Both films were commercial hits, and they helped catapult Statham to stardom. He played supporting roles in the American action films Turn It Up (2000), Ghosts of Mars and The One (2001). From 2002 to 2008, he played the title role in the first three films in the Transporter film series (2002–2008), which solidified his status as an action star. In 2003, he appeared in the ensemble heist action film The Italian Job. He went on to play leading roles in the commercially successful films Crank (2006), The Bank Job (2008), The Mechanic (2011), Homefront (2013), Mechanic: Resurrection (2016), The Meg (2018), Wrath of Man (2021), Meg 2: The Trench (2023), and The Beekeeper (2024). Statham has also starred as Lee Christmas in the ensemble action film series The Expendables (2010–2023) and as Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious franchise (2013–2023), including the spin-off Hobbs & Shaw (2019), which he co-produced. His voice acting work includes the documentaries Thai Boxing: A Fighting Chance (2002), Truth in 24 (2008) and its 2012 sequel, and the animated film Gnomeo & Juliet (2011).

for Lex Luthor in DC Cinematic Universe Reboot

Basically, the DCEU is hot garbage. However, I see the Matt Reeves Batman trilogy as being a gateway into a soft reboot that can actually be good. In this new DCCU, some actors can reprise their roles (for example, Jeremy Irons was a good Alfred, and Shazam can stay canon).The Justice League roster I'm working up towards is -Batman (Bruce Wayne) -Superman (Clark Kent) -Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) -The Flash (Barry Allen) -Green Lantern (John Stewart) -Aquaman (Arthur Curry) -Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) In this version, Cyborg will be a member of the Teen Titans long before he joins the JLA. Also, the villains of The Batman have already been confirmed, but I'm going to go in my own direction with my concept for those movies. The characters will be characters who would be in the Justice League movies, as well as the solo movies of the characters. Other movies would include 3 or 4 Batman movies, 3 Superman movies, 2 or 3 Flash movies, 3 or 4 Green Lantern movies (there are so many stories), 2 Aquaman movies, 2 Wonder Woman movies, a Shazam sequel, a hard maybe on a Green Arrow movie, a Nightwing movie, and 2 Teen Titans movies. Obviously I know none of these are ever going to happen, but a fanboy in his mom's basement can dream right?
