Jean-Claude Van Damme, renowned for his roles in Kickboxer and Universal Soldier, revealed he was rejected for a part in the Fast & Furious franchise, reportedly because of Vin Diesel's objections

The Belgian actor didn't disclose which Fast & Furious movie he had been considered for, nor what role he might have played

The actor is hoping for a possible return to the blockbuster series The Expendables, despite his character having been killed off in the second installment

Van Damme joked about the potential of coming back in "Expendables 5, or 25"

Rumour has it that Sylvester Stallone, creator of The Expendables franchise, could create a twin brother for Van Damme's character, Jean Vilain, named Claude Vilai

Despite these speculations, nothing has been confirmed as yet

Meanwhile, it seems unlikely that Van Damme will appear in the Fast & Furious series

Fans are left expecting the 11th iteration of the franchise.
