VIDEO: Jason Statham's replacement kicks ass in The Transporter Refueled trailer

Former Game of Thrones star Ed Skrein has big shoes to fill in The Transporter Refueled. He’s taking over from Jason Statham to play Frank Martin. And the first trailer for The Transporter Refueled shows how he’s faring in the role.

Skrein brings a certain charm to the role. And happily it looks like there’ll be plenty of over-the-top action to keep audiences entertained.

The Transporter Refueled sees Martin hired by a trio of female bank robbers who pull off an impressive heist. But one of the bank’s customers is quite a powerful man, and is less than pleased that his money has been taken. He makes it personal by kidnapping Martin’s dad and gives him just 12 hours to make things right. He wasn't counting on The Transporter having a different idea of how to do that, we're guessing.

The Transporter Refueled also stars Gabriella Wright and Ray Stevenson. It is directed by Camille Delamarre.

The Transporter Refueled will race into cinemas on September 4th, 2015.
