Frank Martin (The Transporter)

Statham to branch out and create his own action icon, the titular Transporter doesn’t disappoint. Frank Martin is like a car artist. The road is his canvas, and the car is his brush. The Transporter makes most of Statham’s other characters look like they’re from the underworld. He knows every detail, and how each passenger will affect the tires he chose that day. Statham made the character so successful that after he completed his own trilogy, the franchise became lucrative enough for producers to make TV shows and reboot films with fellow British action star Ed Skrein in the driver’s seat.
Death Race (2008)

Jensen Garner  (Death Race)

Accused of killing his wife, NASCAR driver Jensen Ames is imprisoned and forced to take part in the deadly Death Race. This crazy race only features prisoners fighting in futuristic chariot races using modified armored vehicles with heavy weaponry. Jensen agrees to take part on the condition that he replace the masked former driver in the Death Race named Frankenstein, assuming his identity and winning his final race to gain his freedom.
Mechanic: Resurrection (2016)

Arthur Bishop (The Mechanic)

A contract killer, Arthur Bishop is ruthlessly effective in standard action and bombing movies, his advantage being to kill the most impossible targets and make it look like an accident. Arthur Bishop is one of the most paranoid people. If he does not kill people, then just in case he equips his house and property with explosives. In the sequel The Mechanic: Resurrection, Arthur manages to find love in the form of angelic orphanage worker Jessica Alba. Then the bad guys kidnap her to force Bishop to work for them, and of course they’re not very good at it

Deckard Shaw (Fast & Furious)

Deckard Shaw, brother of Luke Evans from Fast & Furious 6, is a rogue SWAT assassin trained in every kind of magic imaginable. He is also strong enough to survive Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto. Although Deckard initially appears as a villain in the series, Deckard quickly comes to his senses and discovers a beautifully promising bravado romance with Johnson’s character. They had so much chemistry in The Fate of the Furious that their film was green-lit almost immediately.
Parker

Parker (Parker)

Parker – as he himself says: “I do not steal from people who cannot afford it, and I do not harm those who do not deserve it.” Parker meets many people who deserve to be hurt. Carelessly deceived by the crew, Parker is shot dead and left for dead on the side of the road. His brutal desire for revenge is highlighted by the fact that Statham does all his own stunts in the film. He jumps out of a moving car, and several times to make the scene perfect, he even dangles from the balcony of the top floor of a twenty-story hotel. The inability to separate actor from character only makes Parker even more cool.

The Meg (2018)

Jonas Taylor (The Meg)

Jonas Taylor is a deep-sea rescuer who goes through the usual woes of a failed rescue and self-imposed exile before being forced to return to rescue a crew stranded at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, where divers encounter a giant megalodon down there, and this is where Jonas will be showing viewers his coolness. Statham has a large number of bodies like an action star, which makes him worthy of inclusion in the male supergroup The Expendables. One thing that none of the giant stars on this team can claim is that they killed a 20 meter basking shark (actually) with their bare hands.

Lee Christmas (The Expendables)

Of Sylvester Stallone’s original line-up of the Hardcore Action Stars Festival, Statham was practically the newest guy on the block. With many successful action movies and at the age of forty-three, Statham was by no means a novelty. And in these films, there is a kind of transfer of the baton between Stallone and Statham. This was not unusual for Stallone, but it really allowed Statham to shine. Lee Christmas, who prefers all sorts of blades to weapons, is the right-hand man of the Expendables leader Barney Ross, and also arguably the biggest source of murders and jokes in the entire franchise.

Luke Wright (Safe)

Luke Wright is a former cop and cage fighter who fell victim to a Russian mafia after accidentally winning a fixed fight. His punishment is the murder of his pregnant wife and the promise that anyone he talks to for a while will also be killed. Battered and hopeless, Luke is steps away from throwing himself under a New York subway train before spotting a distressed girl. Luke quickly discovers that the girl is the target of both the Russian and Chinese mafia, as well as every corrupt cop in New York, due to her knowledge of valuable information. With a new breath of life, when Luke has nothing left to lose, he takes on everything and beats all the snot out of it.
Crank: High Voltage (2009)

Chev Chelios (  Crank 2 : High Voltage)

Los Angeles hitman Chev Chelios is injected with a synthetic drug that suppresses the flow of adrenaline to his heart. To stay alive, Chev needs to constantly expose his body to the effects of adrenaline to keep his heart beating faster. . Chev does something more incredible than the last thing he did, in the sequel he gets an artificial heart. This means Chev now has to literally shock his system with electricity in order to power himself. Chev is a unique character not only for Statham, but for action movies in general.
