Jason Statham Might Join Melissa McCarthys Spy Comedy, Rock Our Worlds Jason Statham is known for his action chops and grizzled good looks. Melissa McCarthy is known for being hilarious and all-around awesome. What would happen if they joined forces? It could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The Expendables star is in talks to join Paul Feigs movie Susan Cooper, which will feature McCarthy as the eponymous spy. Feig has described the character as a female James Bond, and word is that it will be similar in tone to The Heat, which was funny but also packed in a lot of action. A recent rumor also has Rose Byrne, who appeared alongside McCarthy in Feigs Bridesmaids, joining the film. Theres currently no start date for production; Statham is currently filming Fast and Furious 7, and McCarthy has a whole lot of projects on her plate. (Shes also rocking the cover of Elle mags November issue!) Her show Mike and Molly is scheduled to return in November, and shes attached to the upcoming film St. Vincent De Van Nuys. McCarthy is currently filming her directorial debut, Tammy, which is slated for a July 2014 release. If Statham signs on, this will either give him a chance to show off his less serious side, or signal that Susan Cooper is serious about spy action. Either way, were on board.
