GR+ Live at SDCC 2015: Ed Skrein talks The Transporter Refueled, Deadpool and... Spawn?

News

It's not easy filling the shoes of someone like Jason Statham, but that's exactly what Game of Thrones actor Ed Skrein will be doing when he gets behind the wheel in The Transporter Refueled, the first new film in the Transporter franchise since 2008. It's out on Friday 4th September on both sides of the Atlantic (and spelt Refuelled with a British double L in the UK). Of course, that's not all he's involved in at the moment, as Skrein will also be playing the role of villain in the Deadpool movie.

12DOVE caught up with Skrein at San Diego Comic-Con 2015 to find out more, and in the process learned about martial arts, how The Transporter is like Doctor Who, and Skrein's favorite superhero. (Personal sidenote: solid choice, Mr. Skrein) You can watch the entire interview below:
