Robert Knepper joining Jason Statham

Jason Statham will return for a third turn as unorthodox delivery man Frank in "Transporter 3," along with at least one new co-star.

According to Variety, "Prison Break" co-star Robert Knepper has been added to the cast of the franchise sequel in an unspecified capacity.

Louis Leterrier, who had a hand in directing the first two films in the franchise, is finishing work on his "Incredible Hulk" reboot for Marvel and will turn things over to Olivier Megaton, a second unit helmer on "Hitman."

The first two movies in the "Transporter" franchise made more than $130 million worldwide.

Knepper, who had a co-starring role in "Hitman," is best known as Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell on FOX's "Prison Break," which concluded its third season last week. His other feature credits include "Hostage" and "Good, and Good Luck."
