The Transporter is one of Jason Statham’s most iconic action movie franchises, but it remains unclear if he’ll ever play Frank Martin again in Transporter 5. The franchise debuted in 2002 with the release of The Transporter, which marked Statham’s first headlining role in a major action vehicle. The titular stoic mercenary-turned-driver quickly became the defining role of Statham’s career and opened the door to other opportunities in the genre. Not only did he go on to star in other action films like War, Crank, and The Mechanic; he reprised his role as Frank in two more Transporter movies. 6m5s52

As Frank Martin in The Transportermovies, Jason Statham delivered some of his career's most incredible fight scenes. This over-the-top franchise about a highly skilled criminal delivery driver with a personal set of rules featured non-stop action as Frank fought foes from to Miami and kicked butt on land, sky, and sea. As an incredible piece of mid-2000s action movie camp, Statham’s Transporter trilogy was a high point in a body of work filled with epic fight sequences and thrilling takedowns.

The action movie Transporter 2 has been launched to success on the Netflix Global Top 10. Transporter 2 is a 2005 action movie directed by Louis Leterrier and starring Jason Statham alongside Amber Valletta, Keith David, Matthew Modine, and Kate Nauta. Its plot focuses on the titular transporter, Frank Martin (Statham), who becomes implicated in a mysterious kidnapping involving the son of a US official.

John Wick director Chad Stahelski thinks the action hero can take down Dom Toretto and Frank Martin, and Fast X director Louis Leterrier doesn't disagree. The legendary Baba Yaga (Keanu Reeves) remains an unbeatable assassin even after taking time off to retire with his wife and dog. Stahelski thinks that two other action heroes, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) of the Fast & Furious franchise and Frank Martin of Transporter fame, would be crushed by Wick in a fight.

Jason Statham's cameo in Collateral left Transporter fans with a few questions. Collateral is an neo-noir action thriller set in the span of a single night, starring Jamie Foxx as unsuspecting taxi driver Max Durocher and Tom Cruise in one of his most iconic roles as Vincent, a relentless hitman in need of a loyal ride around Los Angeles. The film is directed by Heat director Michael Mann, who led the film to high critical and commercial success in 2004.

Never change the deal. No names. Never open the package. Those are the rules that courier-for-hire Frank Martin abides by without question, which of course means that they got broken not long into the running time of Corey Yuen's 2002 action film The Transporter, which starred Jason Statham as the lead and was followed up with two sequels and a TV series.

Cinemax’s attempt to convert the Transporter film franchise into a bona fide action series is well on its way to fruition. The show’s producers are moving into the final stages of prepping the pilot by hiring Stephen Williams (Lost) to handle directing chores for the series’ first outing.
