The actor has been attached to the project since Universal acquired it and revealed in a statement that he appreciates Netflix's "unbridled enthusiasm" for Red Notice.
"Director/writer Rawson Thurber has delivered a dynamic script that me and my co-stars and partners-in-heist, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, can't wait to shoot. The fun we're gonna have making Red Notice, but more importantly — the fun the worldwide audience will have watching it in 190+ countries — all at the same moment."
