Jason Statham’s Franchise Debut in Fast & Furious 6 Now Streaming for Free!

BBG News

One thing that consistently delights free streaming audiences is a well-crafted movie. While he may have only made an unacknowledged, post-credits scene appearance, the fact that this film has climbed into the Tubi Top 10 is a feat that Statham’s legion of fans will undoubtedly attribute to him.

In 2013, the sixth installment of the Fast & Furious series, titled Fast & Furious 6, emerged as one of the most profitable movies within the franchise, earning nearly $800 million at the box office. This demonstrated that the series, initially centered around street racing and family, had grown into a much grander saga. Additionally, this film marked the introduction of Jason Statham’s character, Deckard Shaw, to the franchise. His brief appearance at the end of the movie paved the way for his expanded role in Furious 7 and a spinoff with Dwayne Johnson titled Hobbs & Shaw.

Currently, “Fast & Furious 6” has made its way into the Tubi Top 16 at the ninth spot and appears poised to move up further in the near future. At this moment, the original film that kicked off the series back in 2001 is gaining momentum, sitting comfortably in third place on the chart. With a handful of other “Fast” movies available for free streaming on the platform, the chart could soon transform into an intense competition among several titles from the Vin Diesel-led franchise, resembling a race to the top.

Though Jason Statham didn’t play a significant role in the franchise during its initial phase, his inclusion in multiple later episodes served as an attractive draw for action enthusiasts eager to witness his performance alongside a distinguished ensemble of action movie legends. Now, viewers can enjoy – at no cost – the thrilling start of his character arc as Deckard Shaw.

Where Does the ‘Fast & Furious’ Saga Go Next?

After the somewhat underwhelming response to Fast X, a high-budget production featuring both veteran and new stars like Statham reprising his role as Deckard, the movie – which ranks as one of the most expensive films ever produced – failed to generate enough revenue at the box office to cover its costs. Plagued by several problems during its turbulent production, including the departure of director Justin Lin early on, the film’s disappointing performance has put plans for an eleventh movie on hold indefinitely.

Initially scheduled for a 2025 release, Fast X, had Vin Diesel hinting at two more films in production. But, following its theater debut, updates on the future of the series have been scarce, with only occasional disgruntled posts from Diesel on social media. As a result, there remains uncertainty about when or if the franchise will truly come to an end.

Instead of eagerly waiting for the next installment, it might be more fulfilling for fans to unwind by watching a selection of older films from the franchise on Tubi or other streaming platforms where they’ve been distributed. Whether you’re a fan of Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, or the charismatic Reyes character played by Jason Momoa in Fast X, there are plenty of past Fast movies to keep you entertained while we all wait to find out if those engines will roar again in the future.
