Joe Taslim Of ‘The Raid: Redemption’ Joins The Cast Of ‘Fast Six’

Okay so I don’t watch any of the Fast And The Furious movies and I for sure did not watch Fast Five. Titling the sixth movie after that Fast Six just seems lazy, right? So, in my eyes this movie had already struck out. That is until today. Joe Taslim of The Raid: Redemption has joined the cast of the new Fast And The Furious flick. Now if you have NOT seen The Raid by now then shame on you. If you have you may remember Taslim as Sergeant Jaka, team leader of the ill-fated SWAT raid operation who had some of the best fight scenes in the movie.

Taslim will play the villainous role of Jah, a cold-blooded killer who uses his martial arts and parkour skills to fight the pic’s protags, led by Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.

Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and Michelle Rodriguez are set to return for the sequel, which has added new blood in the form of MMA fighter Gina Carano and villain Luke Evans.

Wait Gina Carano is in it too? Now I am definitely seeing it. But now that I am sold on this movie it leads to me to wonder if I have to go rent Fast Five? Ugh.
