Jason Statham’s ‘Mutiny’ Gets 2026 Release Date, Faces Off Against ‘M3GAN’ Spin-Off

by

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that the action movie maestro, better known as “The Beekeeper,” is keeping the banner high for straightforward, pulse-pounding action films. His upcoming film, titled “Mutiny,” directed by an unnamed director, now has an official release date. Regrettably, it seems we’ll have to wait a bit longer to witness The Stath enact his next explosive quest for justice.

According to an article by Deadline, the action thriller “Mutiny” is scheduled to hit theaters on January 9, 2026. Lionsgate has planned this release date, which coincides with Universal’s spin-off of “M3GAN,” titled “Soulm8te,” that will premiere a week earlier on January 2. With no major competition expected during its opening weekend, “Mutiny” seems poised to rake in big box office numbers.

In the upcoming action thriller “Mutiny,” Jason Statham assumes dual roles as both lead actor and producer. He teams up with Jean-François Richet, director of this year’s Gerard Butler film “Plane.” The plot revolves around Statham’s character evading capture while exposing a significant global conspiracy. Joining him on screen are Annabelle Wallis from shows like “Peaky Blinders” and movies such as “Malignant,” Jason Wong from “Wrath of Man” and “The Gentlemen,” along with Roland Møller, Arnas Fedaravičius, and Adrian Lester. To learn more about the movie “Mutiny,” you can read its official synopsis below.

As a movie-loving aficionado, I’d rephrase that intriguing plotline like this: “In ‘Mutiny,’ I find myself in a precarious situation when my wealthy industrialist mentor is brutally slain before my eyes. Unjustly framed for the crime, I’m forced to go underground, digging deeper into the mystery as I unravel an international web of conspiracy.

Jason Statham Will Ply His Trade Once Again in This Year’s ‘A Working Man’

The movie “Mutiny” was penned by J.P. Davis and Lindsay Michel. Earlier, Lauren Bixby, Vice President of Co-Productions and Acquisitions for Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, hinted at the exciting prospect of pairing Jason Statham and Jean-François Richet in an action movie. Notably, Richet is famed for directing films such as “Mesrine: Killer Instinct”, the action thriller “Blood Father” starring Mel Gibson, and the 2023 release “Plane”. This latter film garnered positive reviews from both critics (79%) and audiences (94%) on Rotten Tomatoes.

Michel expressed excitement in a statement, saying, “Jason Statham is an energetic force in action movies worldwide, and we’re thrilled to collaborate with Jean-François and the MadRiver team again, whom we previously worked with on ‘Plane.’ We eagerly anticipate unleashing that creative power once more as we bring ‘Mutiny’ to reality.

In contrast to his upcoming chase adventure set for release next year, action star Jason Statham will make a comeback this year with the film “A Working Man“. Directed by David Ayer of “The Beekeeper’s” fame, the script was penned by none other than Sylvester Stallone, one of Statham’s co-stars from “The Expendables“. The film boasts an impressive cast that includes David Harbour (“Stranger Things“), Michael Peña (“End of Watch“) , Jason Flemyng (“Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels“), Arianna Rivas (“The Black Phone 2“), Noemi Gonzalez (“Selena: The Series“), and Emmett J. Scanlan (“Peaky Blinders, Kin“). “A Working Man” is set to hit theaters on March 28, 2025, and you can find the official synopsis below.

After retiring from a distinguished military service in covert operations, Levon Cade chose to lead a modest life as a construction worker. However, when the daughter of his employer, who feels more like kin to him, is abducted by human traffickers, he embarks on a mission to rescue her. His journey exposes a web of corruption that surpasses anything he had previously imagined.
