In the Fast & Furious franchise, which actor plays Deckard Shaw?

The story behind the answer

Jason Statham plays Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious franchise.

Deckard Shaw is introduced as the main antagonist of Furious 7. He seeks revenge against Dominic Toretto's crew after they defeat his brother Owen Shaw, who is the villain of Fast & Furious 6.

Although Deckard begins as an enemy, later films reposition him as an uneasy ally. He works with members of Dom's team in The Fate of the Furious and appears alongside Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbs in the spin-off Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.

Jason Statham is an English actor known for action roles in films such as The Transporter, Crank, and The Expendables. The character's name can be confusing because Luke Evans plays Owen Shaw, Deckard's younger brother, while Statham plays Deckard.
