So they really thought they could get Denzel to take a non lead role in Fast & Furious

:russ: these cats really need to stay in their lane. they starting to reach a little.

Denzel laugh: Buried in an editorial about franchise fatigue in Hollywood by Deadline.com writer Mike Fleming comes word that Denzel Washington turned down the chance to co-star in "Fast & Furious 7."
Little else is known about the possible role, but Fleming makes it sound like the part would be similar in size to -- SPOILER ALERT -- Jason Statham's "Fast & Furious 6" appearance. (Statham is set up as the villain for "Fast & Furious 7" at the end of the franchise's sixth entry.) According to Fleming, Universal will "undoubtedly get somebody important" for the part, which would likely carry over into the ninth "Fast & Furious" film.
No word yet on what other actors would be "important" enough for the part, but feel free to start speculating with names like Liam Neeson, Ryan Gosling and any other action-friendly male star.
James Wan is set to direct "Fast and Furious 7," taking over from Justin Lin, who helmed the last four films in the series.
"I really do feel the pressure," Wan told HuffPost Entertainment, "but, you know, if you have to go into a particular franchise, there could not be a better one to come into. Do you know what I mean? Coming on something that's actually on the upswing [laughs] as opposed to something on the downswing."

Denzel's credentials shyts all over everyone in the fast and furious franchise combined. He actually made a movie with Ryan Reynolds staring in it look decent.

obviously denzel is a top notch actor, but hes made PLENTY of duds and flops that arent anywhere close to the ff franchise. To act as if hes above it is laughable.

I bet if you add up his last ten movies box offices they might not even break even withh ff6.

And not every great actor needs to be top billing every single movie.

People think Bruce Willis is bad but Liam Neeson has a movie out every 2 months on average. He says yes to anything, all they gotta do is ask that man.

Denzel wouldnt even look right in a FF movie, they need to keep bringing in the straight action cats for these movies. They should find a way to make The Rock a villian at some point too:yeshrug:
