Add to it his blue-collar British accent, and Skrein is reminiscent of Michael Caine when he was a Young Turk.


Skrein looks like he was born to kick butt, and he radiates a raw-edged spontaneity that makes him ideal as Statham's replacement. Skrein looks like a far younger Frank Martin, and I believe writer/producer Luc Besson cast the former "Game of Thrones" actor for this quality.

Because he fits Frank Martin like a surgical glove.
