One of the men that Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is tasked with eliminating is Crain's (Sam Hazeldine's) biggest rival, the larger-than-life billionaire arms dealer, Max Adams. The production was fortunate enough to attract a similarly larger-than-life acting legend to portray the magnate, and that was Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones, who had won a Best Actor in a Supporting Role Oscar for Il fuggitivo (1993). "I was actually a little bit intimidated in the beginning," admitted Dennis Gansel, "because he's... Tommy Lee Jones! But he was such a humble guy to work with, open for any ideas, and bringing many of his own. The part itself is not very large, but what he does with the character is amazing." "I saw the first Mechanic (Professione assassino (2011)), and it was very entertaining," said Jones of his decision to join the cast. "This is a worthy sequel because the first one was a lot of fun, and that's what makes it worthwhile to do again. Besides, my character gets to wear some pretty cool glasses and shirts!".
