From
Immortals to
The Raven to
The Hobbit to
Fast Six? It's looking like that sort of year for Luke Evans. The Welsh born actor was already having the sort of year that most can only hope for and it may have just gotten better with word that the villain role in Justin Lin's
Fast Six - the role that had previously been earmarked for Jason Statham - has just been offered to Evans instead.
Going from one UK actor to another will only further spark speculation that the increasingly global franchise is headed to Europe - if not the UK itself - next.
Note that while this is only an offer at this point Evans has only one upcoming project listed on the IMDB, so scheduling would certainly not appear to be an issue.
