by

As a seasoned movie enthusiast with a penchant for action flicks and a soft spot for witty humor, I can confidently say that Jason Statham continues to reign supreme during the festive season. His knack for delivering high-octane action coupled with a dash of comedic timing is unparalleled. Take his 2015 action-comedy masterpiece “Spy”, for instance, which has now made its way into the global Top 10 on Netflix.

Regardless of the holiday cheer, action movie legend remains undisputed. With appearances in films such as The Beekeeper, The Transporter, The Mechanic, and the Fast and Furious series, Statham consistently demonstrates his skill at delivering a powerful punch to your visage. However, Statham has also shown his comedic prowess during such moments, with his 2015 action-comedy now ranking among the Top 10 worldwide on .

Produced and directed by Paul Feig, the movie titled “Spy” features Jason Statham alongside Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, Jude Law, Miranda Hart, and Bobby Cannavale. The story revolves around a CIA analyst who has been confined to a desk for her entire career but is unexpectedly thrust into the field when she’s tasked with going undercover to capture an arms dealer and avenge the death of the agency’s top agent. “Spy” is one of Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, and Paul Feig’s highest-rated films, boasting a fantastic 95% rating from critics and a 78% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. You can find the official synopsis for this action-packed adventure below.

“Despite having solid field training, CIA analyst Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) has spent her entire career as a desk jockey, working hand-in-hand with dashing agent Bradley Fine (Jude Law). Using high-tech equipment and a hidden earpiece, Susan is the guardian angel who helps Bradley avoid danger. However, when Bradley is assassinated by Bulgarian arms dealer Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne), Susan wrangles her way into her first undercover assignment to help capture Boyanov and avenge Bradley.”

One Jason Statham Fan Has the Perfect Idea for ‘Spy 2’

Although Spy is considered one of the top films for actors like Statham, McCarthy, and Feig, there hasn’t been a sequel released so far. Director Feig had hinted at a second installment earlier, suggesting that Statham would be a main character along with McCarthy in a potential Spy 2. However, no such project has materialized as of yet, with Feig mentioning back in 2016 that nothing has been finalized.

“That’s another world that I don’t want to walk away from. It’s the first thing I did that I set up to be a possible franchise and Melissa is dying to do it. I have a story for it, and a funny idea that will kick it off that involves Statham. Susan Cooper is one of my favourite characters I’ve ever come up with, but Rick Ford is possibly the one I’ll take to the grave with me. Will he get any more self-aware in the sequel? No, god no. He’ll get less self-aware.”

Although it’s not yet confirmed, an enthusiast of the movie shared their concept for “Spy 2” earlier this year. In August, during the Olympics, @AshDylanLit on Twitter suggested a sequel where McCarthy’s Susan Cooper and Statham’s Rick Ford disguise themselves as breakdancing Olympians from a fictional country. This idea was inspired by the amusing viral performance of Australian B-Girl Raygun at the breakdancing event, making “Spy 2” about Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham posing as breakdancers in the Olympics. It seems like an ideal scenario for a sequel, as evidenced by McCarthy herself expressing her interest with “Ummm YES PLEASE!!!

Although there are no upcoming comedies for Jason Statham at this time, he has several action-packed films scheduled, such as “Levon’s Trade” and “Mutiny.
