As a film enthusiast with a penchant for action-packed movies and a soft spot for Jason Statham, I am thrilled to share my thoughts on these upcoming cinematic masterpieces!
At 57 years of age, Jason Statham demonstrates no signs of slowing the momentum in his thriving action film career for the foreseeable future. After the entertaining 2024 action flick “The Beekeeper”, Statham has at least four new projects lined up for release from now until 2026. Notably, he is reprising his role as Decker Shaw in the “Fast” franchise, and will also collaborate with “The Beekeeper” director David Ayer on a movie scripted by Sylvester Stallone.
As “The Beekeeper” continues to draw audiences on Amazon Prime Video, it might be helpful for fans of Jason Statham to know about the upcoming action films he’ll appear in over the next few years, as he approaches his 60s. These range from international thrillers involving conspiracies, to home invasions on islands and other exciting projects. Here’s a list of upcoming Jason Statham movies to keep an eye out for in the near future.
4 Levon’s Trade
January 17, 2025
In a reunion of talents, Jason Statham and director David Ayer will join forces once more for “Levon’s Trade,” an action-packed thriller slated to release on January 17, 2025. Jason Statham portrays Levon Cade, a former Black Ops soldier who has swapped his perilous past for the sake of caring for his young daughter (Isla Gie) and leading a peaceful life as a construction worker. However, when one of Levon’s most valued new acquisitions mysteriously vanishes, he is thrust back into a world of hyper-violent confrontations. The duo aims to recreate the success they had with “The Beekeeper,” which garnered over $150 million internationally (as reported by Box Office Mojo).
Besides reconnecting with Ayer, Statham is working again with Sylvester Stallone, who collaborated on the script for “Levon’s Trade” alongside Chuck Dixon. Stallone has previously acted alongside Statham in the “Expendables” series and co-wrote the 2013 action-thriller “Homefront” featuring Statham. In “Levon’s Trade,” Statham will share the screen with David Harbour, Michael Peña, Jason Flemyng, Arianna Rivas, Alana Boden, Eve Mauro, Maximillian Osinski, Emmett J Scanlan, Noemi Gonzalez, and more. Additionally, Statham is also co-producing the project through his newly established production company, Punch Palace Productions.
3 Mutiny
2025 (TBD)
Jean-Francois Richet, a renowned French filmmaker, presents Mutiny, an electrifying action thriller that features Jason Statham in both the production and acting roles, portraying the character of Cole Reed. The storyline unfolds as Cole, a former Special Forces agent and ex-NYC police officer, finds himself wrongly implicated in the murder of a wealthy industrialist, Tibu, who had previously employed him as a private security specialist.
Beyond proving his innocence, Cole also needs to uncover the identity of his friend’s murderer and deliver prompt justice as a vigilante. Alongside Statham, Annabelle Wallis, Jason Wong, and Ben Cartwright have been added to the cast for the film, though their roles remain undetermined. Statham has taken on a more active role in the production process through his latest company, Punch Palace Productions, allowing him greater creative control. The upcoming movie, titled Mutiny, will be Statham’s first collaboration with Richet, an accomplished director who has worked on films such as Plane, Mesrine, Assualt on Precinct 13, and more. Although a specific release date has yet to be confirmed, it is expected that Mutiny will hit theaters in 2025.
2 Jason Statham & Baltasar Kormakur’s Untitled Action Thriller
TBD
Jason Statham and Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormakur will collaborate for the first time on an unnamed action-thriller with an undetermined release date. The production of this film will be handled by Statham’s Punch Palace Productions, Black Bear, and Kormakur’s studio, RVK Studios. Penned by Ward Perry, the plot revolves around a secluded Scottish man named Mason (played by Statham), who is compelled to take heroic actions as a ferocious storm lashes his island home. During the storm, Mason saves a young girl at sea, only for unknown adversaries from his past to suddenly attack his residence.
Filming of the unnamed action movie is set to start in Iceland and the United Kingdom this November 2024 (as reported by Deadline). This will be the first project for Jason Statham and director Baltasar Kormakur, who share similar creative styles that could lead to future partnerships. Known for his work on intense action films like Everest, 2 Guns, The Deep, Contraband, and more recently Beast with Idris Elba, Kormakur is the man behind this upcoming production. As per producer John Friedberg from Black Bear:
Jason’s exceptional talent for high-impact action sequences, backed by his proven success in this genre, coupled with Balt’s dynamic, character-centric directing approach that emphasizes storytelling, creates an unquestionable synergy.
Stay tuned for an official title and release date for the untitled Statham/Kormakur action movie.
