Tony Jaa is among the many actors that have been added to the “Fast & Furious 7” cast.
Recently, Vin Diesel posted footage of a training session between him and Jaa. You can check it out below.
Jaa’s new role was reported back in August by The Hollywood Reporter.
"I have been a big fan of the Fast and Furious franchise," said he said according to THR.com. "The films are fast-paced, fun and keep the audience involved. There is a great mix of humor and action, something I really appreciate. There is no better film to be involved in for a first U.S. studio production."
The website also reported FF7 will be the 37-year old’s first English language film.
Diesel and Jaa aren’t the only cast members to get in some practice off set.
Earlier this year, Jason Statham and Paul Walker practiced the most important part of the “Fast & Furious” franchise—driving.
"I've actually been racing with Paul at Willow Springs in LA, so we've sort of chased each other around the track before," Statham said according to the Belfast Telegram.
Staham is probably the best villain to come to the “Fast & Furious” franchise. When his star power is added to that of Diesel, Walker, Ludacris, The Rock, and the rest of the cast, FF7 has a chance of reaching, and maybe surpassing, the numbers of its predecessor “Fast & Furious 6” (over $750,000,000 worldwide and more than $230,000,000 domestically, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com).

“Fast & Furious 7” is scheduled to hit theatres July 11, 2014.
