Jason Statham, an ex-pro swimmer, is keen to re familiarize himself with the wet stuff it seems. The big guy is someone Marvel apparently likes for comic-book character 'The Sub-Mariner'.... he's just not convinced he's the right man for the job.
''I dont know if Id look right running around in a tight speedo with wings on my ankles", laughs Statham in an interview with IESB, "Im trying to think of what would be a good comic book character for me to play. You know, theres talk of them redoing The Crow. That was a good movie with Brandon Lee, although that was years ago. So if that one comes my way, bang!"
Yeah The Sub - Mariner totaly looks like Spock anyway.
As for Statham, he has the build and the acting ability but he's just TOO SHORT. Namor is a big guy.
But of course Jackman is way too tall to play Wolverine but that turned out great so maybe height need not be a factor.
