by

Following an extended period of anticipation for an official announcement, it’s now confirmed that “The Beekeeper 2” is moving forward. The enigmatic former assassin Adam Clay, portrayed by The Beekeeper, is set to make a comeback in this action-packed sequel. The Stath will collaborate with the director of “The Night Comes for Us,” “The Shadow Strays,” and “Nobody 2,” who has been hinting at details about the sequel on social media, potentially alluding to the reappearance of a fan-favorite character.

On his professional Twitter account, the action movie director posted a snapshot from an outstanding fight scene in “The Beekeeper,” where Jason Statham’s assassin encounters Lazarus (portrayed by Taylor James), a South African mercenary known for eliminating beekeepers and commanding a crew of assassins and gun-for-hire. After a fierce brawl that ends with Statham seemingly defeating the antagonist, Tjahjanto hints at another confrontation between them in the potential sequel.

According to the director, Lazarus was an exceptionally intriguing villain, albeit a bit of a jerk but not entirely evil; more like a highly skilled, disabled mercenary with distinctive features. It’s doubtful that Lazarus could rise from the dead, but one of the key aspects fans adored about The Beekeeper was its delightfully absurd nature. Given his name is Lazarus, who knows what might happen?

‘The Beekeeper 2’ Is Likely To Reveal More About the Rest of the Hive

In January 2024, the initial installment of “The Beekeeper” was launched, with Jason Statham skillfully portraying Adam Clay, a beekeeper turned relentless avenger. Following the tragic demise of a cherished companion due to fraud, Clay abandons his peaceful beekeeping life and embarks on a brutal quest for retribution. However, it’s important to note that The Stath is not just an ordinary beekeeper; he is unveiled as a former member of a covert, powerful organization named “Beekeepers.” As for the plot details of “The Beekeeper 2”, they remain confidential at this time. Nevertheless, it’s anticipated that the sequel will provide further insights into the enigmatic group of assassins. Previously, director-turned-producer David Ayer has hinted at more revelations regarding this secretive organization.

Indeed, the lore surrounding beekeepers has left me utterly captivated. Glimpsing into their world has only piqued my curiosity. Who are these individuals, what is their origins, and where do they find themselves on this journey? And then there’s the question of Jason – how does he fit into the puzzle? There’s so much more to delve into, and collaborating with Jason again presents another intriguing prospect.

As we anxiously look forward to more information about “The Beekeeper 2”, action enthusiasts have been vocalizing their preferences regarding potential cast members for the sequel. The name that stands out most on this wish list is Iko Uwais, renowned actor and martial artist from “The Raid”. He has collaborated with director Timo Tjahjanto in the acclaimed Netflix action film “The Night Comes for Us”, and will square off against Jason Statham in 2023’s “Expend4bles”.

As a movie critic, I’m eagerly anticipating the return of action master, Jason Statham, on the big screen this month with “A Working Man.” This time around, he’s teaming up once more with director David Ayer, following the footsteps of Sylvester Stallone’s script. Adapted from Chuck Dixon’s 2014 novel “Levon’s Trade,” “A Working Man” is set to premiere on March 28th. In this gritty thriller, I find myself in the shoes of a former Royal Marines commando played by Statham, who swaps his life of violence for a tranquil existence in construction. However, when a young girl disappears in our small town, I’m called upon to dust off my skills and embark on a hunt to find her.
