Tony Jaa to join ‘Fast & Furious 7’

Thai action star, Tony Jaa, is set to join the ‘Fast & Furious 7’ and it will be his first English-language debut.

Jaa is known for his action movies, ‘Ong Bak’, and there are no details of Jaa’s character in the ‘Fast & Furious 7’.

“The script is still being being written by longtime franchise player Chris Morgan, so details are sketchy and Jaa’s part in the international action pic remains unknown.”

“Jaa is a stuntman-turned-actor who spent his youth as an elephant herder. He watched martial arts movies and decided to follow in the footsteps of heroes Jackie Chan and Jet Li. He made three Ong Bak films, which were global hits, and is considered a symbol of national pride in his home country.”

“Fast 7 will be his English-language debut as well as his first studio picture.” Sources say.
