Fast and Furiousis a franchise that is filled with some of the biggest actors and actresses. From Vin Diesel to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Brie Larson, there is a range of actors many might never have even thought could work together. There are various Marvel actors who almost joined the series while many others who successfully did so.
The different actors who have come and gone from movie to movie are rather exquisite. Whether it is from the DC Universe or the MCU, the range never seems to end. That is to also focus that Diesel himself is a superhero star. However, there was one actor who almost got a rather major role in the franchise and it wasn’t Josh Brolin but another impactful villain.

Fast and Furious Wanted Generic European Actors
A big demand for the sixth installment of the franchise had been that of generic European actors. Luke Evans, Jason Statham, and even David Tennant were strong contenders for it. The entire franchise is one that never hesitates before shooting on some of the biggest locations, adding to a heavy budget as well. From auditioning actors to auditioning cars, a long and crucial process takes place to ensure no one and nothing wrong gets cast.
David Tennant could very well have been a concrete part of the franchise had he been cast as Deckard Shaw and instead of Statham, we would have been seeing him. To think about it now, it is rather peculiar since theTransporteractor has done an incredible job in the role. However, it could have been Tennant’s as well.
