Jason Statham’s ‘Levon’s Trade/A Working Man’ is Not Being Released Until March

by

As a movie enthusiast eagerly awaiting the anticipated team-up between my favorite action star and the acclaimed director of “The Beekeeper,” I was left disheartened to learn about an unforeseen delay in the release of their new project, “Levon’s Trade.” Initially slated for a cinema debut on January 17th, this film has undergone not just a title change, but also an unexpected postponement that slipped under many radars.

In early 2024, Statham and Ayer produced an exceptionally popular action film titled “The Beekeeper“. The movie garnered positive critical acclaim, a decent run at the box office, and subsequently, an astounding debut on streaming platforms. Remarkably, the film has reappeared on Prime Video’s charts after being available for nearly a year. This indicates that viewers have high anticipation for the upcoming sequel, which will be known as “” instead. Unfortunately, fans will have to exercise patience until March before they can enjoy it.

As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I eagerly anticipate the upcoming collaboration between Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone, reminiscent of their last joint venture in “Expendables”. Joining this star-studded cast are actors like Jason Flemyng, Michael Pena, David Harbour, and Maximilian Osinski. This intriguing tale is adapted from the novel “Levon’s Trade” by Chuck Dixon. The plot, as I understand it, goes something like this:

Levon Cade, played by Statham, abandoned his high-stakes profession to lead a tranquil existence in construction and bond with his daughter. However, when the teenage daughter of his employer goes missing, he is compelled to resurrect the abilities that once earned him a formidable reputation in the clandestine realm of black ops. The search for the vanished college student leads Levon into the depths of a chilling criminal network, setting off a series of events that could jeopardize his peaceful new lifestyle.

‘A Working Man’ Can Build on Statham’s Recent Streaming Success

Some performers have the knack of captivating viewers on streaming services, especially the free ones, regardless of whether their films are fresh or decade-old. Jason Statham is swiftly earning the title of ‘Streaming King’, as it seems there’s hardly a month that passes without several action movies from his extensive catalog topping the charts across various streaming platforms.

The Spring 2024 streaming debut of “The Beekeeper” didn’t just result in one more success for Statham, it also encouraged viewers to rediscover some of his earlier films. The movie garnered one of the actor’s highest Rotten Tomatoes scores ever, with a notable 71% approval from critics – an achievement not commonly seen in many of Statham’s productions – and an impressive 92% rating from his devoted fan base. This suggests that fans now anticipate something extraordinary from “A Working Man”.

Amazon MGM Studios has decided to postpone the release of “A Working Man” from its original planned date. Instead, it will hit theaters on March 28, 2025. This change may be frustrating for those eagerly waiting a two-week premiere, but it provides ample time for fans of Jason Statham to rewatch “The Beekeeper.” Meanwhile, they can look forward to his upcoming R-rated action film that promises a dose of his signature brashness and brutality.
