The ‘Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw’ actor has allegedly pulled out of his new movie because he wants an R-rated movie while the studio leans towards a PG-13 release.

AceShowbizJason Statham has reportedly pulled out of his role in “The Man From Toronto” just four weeks from the start of production.

According to Deadline, the 52-year-old actor is exiting the project due to “creative issues,” including a desire for the film to be R rated as opposed to the studio’s plans for a PG-13 release.

However, the studio is reportedly already working on a replacement for Statham in the action-comedy film, which also stars Kevin Hart and will be directed by Patrick Hughes.

The “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” star was due to play the world’s deadliest assassin, the “Man from Toronto” of the title, alongside the “Jumanji: The Next Level” funnyman. Their characters are mistaken for each other, at a rented New York Airbnb pad, and are forced to team up for a mission.

The film is slated for a November 20, 2020 release.
