Although Jason Statham seems like a perfect fit for Agent 47 from the Hitman franchise, the role instead went to Timothy Olyphant.
The Big Picture Jason Statham is one of the world's most prolific action stars. In addition to headlining major franchises like The Expendables as well as the Fast and Furious films, he's also headlined punch-em-ups including Crank and The Meg. With his shaved head, gruff voice, and tendency for violence, Statham tends to be a standout presence in any film that he's in — so it's no surprise that he was in the running to play the lead role in the Hitman franchise.
Jason Statham Seemed Well-Matched for Agent 47 While Statham possesses the action skills and physical resemblance to Agent 47, the harsh nature of the characters he usually plays may not have translated well to the screen. Think about Lee Christmas from The Expendables, or Deckard Shaw from The Fast and the Furious; neither of them are particularly suave. Honestly, the ruggedness is part of Statham's charm.
What Went Wrong With 'Hitman'? Despite Olyphant giving his all to the role, Hitman suffered from numerous factors that hampered its franchise potential. Chief among them was the script by Skip Woods; it was convoluted, lacking in character motivation, and seemed to think that mindless action would do most of the heavy lifting. Woods' track record includes A Good Day To Die Hard , X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Hitman: Agent 47.
