One of the best things about Furious 7 was the diverse supporting cast, specifically the inclusion of legendary martial artist Tony Jaa (Ong Bak, The Protector) in a surprisingly meaty role as an extremely skilled mercenary who has several fights with Brian throughout the movie before meeting his violent end. Given how Jaa delivered some of the movie's most eye-popping moments, it'd make sense to bring in another similarly skilled martial artist for Furious 8. Why not nab Iko Uwais, the star of the critically acclaimed action franchise The Raid? He's already impressed Hollywood enough to earn a part in Star Wars Episode VII, so playing a supporting villain here would be a fantastic way to keep his profile high ahead of The Raid 3 in 2018.
