Jason Statham's upcoming action thriller Mutiny has been delayed. Directed by Jean-Francois Richet, the movie stars Statham as Cole Reed, an employee who is set up to take the fall for his boss's murder. With a script from Lindsay Michel and J.P. Davis, the Beekeeper star is joined by Annabelle Wallis, Roland Moller, Jason Wong, Ben Catwright, and many others.

Earlier this year, Lionsgate announced that Mutiny would arrive on Jan. 9, 2025, in the week following Universal's M3GAN spin-off Soulm8te.

However, now, according to Deadline, Gerard Butler's Greenland 2: Migration has replaced Mutiny for the Jan. 9 slot, while Statham's new action thriller is eyeing a summer release. Presently, the movie doesn't have a date attached to it. It's also unclear what the reason is behind the delay.

What This Means For Mutiny

Mutiny began production in September 2024 and wrapped in November, and has been in post-production since the beginning of this year.

Gerard Butler has already starred in both Den of Thieves 2: Pantera and the live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie this year, but another more recent action flick has found continued streaming dominance. Butler stars alongside Luke Cage veteran Mike Colter in Plane, the aptly named action film following Brodie Torrance (Butler), a pilot forced to land his plane in a war zone after being caught in the middle of a dangerous storm. Plane is currently streaming on Netflix, and it’s one of the most popular movies on the streamer globally, charting in countries such as Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia. The film earned a “certified fresh” 79% from critics and a “verified hot” 94% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed $74 million at the box office against a modest $24 million budget.

The Beekeeper may have stung the box office with a sweet $162.6 million global haul earlier this year, but Jason Statham’s conspiracy-fueled revenge thriller is starting to lose steam on streaming. Despite boasting a strong 92% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the David Ayer-directed film has dropped down on MGM+’s Top 10 chart as of July 9, according to FlixPatrol. Currently sitting at No. 5 on MGM+, The Beekeeper has slipped behind newer titles but is still outperforming heavy-hitters like Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, The Magnificent Seven, and even Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning. Not bad for a sleeper hit with a modest $40 million budget.

While The Beekeeper is cooling off, Statham’s fans don’t have to worry — he’s still dominating elsewhere. His 2025 film A Working Man, another collaboration with Ayer, is currently No. 1 on MGM+’s Top 10 Overall list. The action star shows no signs of slowing down,...

Jason Statham’s 2024 movie The Beekeepermay have a 92% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, but the conspiracy thriller is seeing a dip in viewership on streaming. Per FlixPatrol, as of July 9, The Beekeeper, directed by David Ayer and written by Kurt Wimmer, has dropped down in MGM+’s Top 10 list.

The film, which also stars Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, and Jeremy Irons, has fallen to fifth place. However, The Beekeeper is still ahead of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, The Magnificent Seven, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning.

Another Statham Film is Dominating Streaming

It’s not all bad news for fans of Statham, though. His 2025 hit film, A Working Man,also directed by Ayer, is currently in the No. 1 spot on MGM+’s Top 10 Overall. The Beekeeper was a sleeper hit when it debuted in theaters in January 2024. It grossed more than $162.6 million worldwide,...

Gerard Butler is the undisputed king of modern trash cinema, and that is a moniker he should feel proud of. Too many contemporary mainstream action movies are toothless and bland, but Butler's flicks have a little bit of dirt and blood in their nails, which is why he's a go-to actor for fans of big-budget exploitation fare. Whether he's chain-smoking and eating donuts in "Den of Thieves" or shooting terrorists in the "Has Fallen" franchise, Big Gerry's character's are reminiscent of the burly, everyman, macho heroes of yesteryear -- and he plays them all with a cheeky twinkle in his eye.

This brings us to "Plane," the Jean-François Richet-directed '90s throwback that's currently flying high in Netflix's top 10, according to FlixPatrol. In this underrated gem, Butler plays Brodie Torrance, a pilot who must protect his passengers from ruthless rebels after their aircraft lands on a dangerous...

As far as contemporary movie stardom goes, Brad Pitt recently proved his worth with the sports drama F1. But if there's one star who consistently gets butts on seats in theaters and eyeballs glued to television screens, it's Jason Statham. Over a career that has survived and evolved across three decades, Statham has headlined old-school action vehicles, starred in major studio franchises, and appeared in a couple of blockbusters that have passed the coveted $1 billion mark at the global box office. One of them is The Fate of the Furious, the eighth installment of the long-running action franchise, which is now racing up the Netflix streaming charts.

According to FlixPatrol, The Fate of the Furiousfinished fifth on Netflix on June 30, beating titles such as Raid 2, The Old Guard, and 28 Weeks Later. The movie earned 228 points on June 30, and has accumulated a total of nearly 800 points on Netflix so far this month.

I think Gerard Butler is one of the finest action stars of our generation. The 300 star and former 2010s heartthrob has successfully pivoted his career to something akin to a modern-day Dolph Lundgren. While not quite the over-the-top action hero, with Butler’s roles more regularly grounded in reality, he has undoubtedly become a staple in action movies. These days, if there’s stuff blowing up in your local movie theater, there’s a pretty solid chance Butler is involved in some capacity.

Recently, my favorite work of his might be Greenland, a disaster movie that defied all odds, emerging as one of the best of the century. I’m partial to the entire Fallen trilogy, too, especially as the franchise grew more and more ridiculous. Now, one of Butler’s recent starring vehicles has landed on Netflix, and is quickly speeding down the runway as the number one movie streaming on the platform.

Action hero Jason Statham has always been a prolific movie star, with many projects on the way. As he's working on a sequel to the action hit The Beekeeper, the actor has another action film on the way.

Statham will team up with Ric Roman Waugh, who was behind Angel Has Fallen and other Gerard Butler action films. Although the film's details, including the title, are kept under wraps, there are some actors attached to the project aside from Statham. Speaking with MovieWeb, Blink Twice star Naomi Ackie hyped up the upcoming action thriller, teasing that it's "a classic."

The actress wasn't able to share many details about the plot, release date, or even the title. However, Ackie couldn't stop praising the film, as well as Statham, highlighting that she had a blast on set.

Jason Statham is so good at making exciting action films that feel extremely watchable.

"Oh,...

When a storm hits mid-flight, a heroic pilot is forced to land on an island armed by violent militia — and he’ll do anything to make sure his passengers get home safe. The 2023 action thriller Plane stars Gerard Butler, Mike Colter, and Tony Goldwyn. Directed by Jean-François Richet (Blood Father), the film was written by Charles Cumming (The Day of the Jackal) and J.P. Davis (The Contractor).

Former Raf pilot Brodie Torrance (Butler) is piloting a flight to Japan when the plane is struck by lightning, forcing Torrance to emergency-land on an island in the Philippines.

So Torrance teams up with Louis (Colter), a former French Foreign Legion fighter and convicted murderer,...

Jason Statham is starring in another action thriller, and one of his co-stars is already building anticipation for it. Statham has built a reputation as one of the most reliable action stars in Hollywood. He started his career in two Guy Ritchie films but grew his career as a bonafide star with films like The Beekeeper and the Fast & Furious franchise. The star currently has two upcoming films in his filmography, including Mutiny, directed by Jean-François Richet. The second movie is an untitled project directed by Ric Roman Waugh. The film will star Statham, alongside Naomi Ackie, Bill Nighy, Daniel Mays, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach.

Speaking with MovieWeb, his co-star Ackie hyped their upcoming actioner, describing the film as a "classic" and praised Statham's action prowess. Read her full comment below:

Gerard Butler’s Plane On Netflix(Photo Credit –Netflix)

Plane is finally streaming on Netflix, and if you’re judging it by its title alone, you’re seriously underestimating Gerard Butler’s latest action beatdown. What sounds like a clearance-bin flick about aviation chaos turns out to be a gritty, high-stakes survival ride with just the right amount of punch, grit, and absurd charm. This is one of those rare thrillers that actually delivers more than it promises.

The setup is familiar: Butler plays Brodie Torrance, a commercial pilot who’s forced to land his storm-hit plane on a dangerous island crawling with rebels. But don’t let the stripped-down premise fool you, what follows is an intense, well-oiled genre machine that feels like a throwback to the golden age of ’90s action, minus the cringe.

Netflix has lined up its next movie inspired by a Disney classic, and this one will have people ringing the bells! The bells! The streaming company has greenlit a feature retelling of Victor Hugo's French gothic novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, which was loosely adapted into the 1996 animated musical of the same name from the House of Mouse. The new project, aptly titled Quasimodo after the book's protagonist, has cast Vincent Cassel, star of Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen, to play the role of the kind-hearted Notre Dame bell-ringer.

According to Deadline, Jean-François Richet, the filmmaker behind the 2023 action thriller Plane that recently landed on Netflix, is onboard to direct Quasimodo from a script written by Eric Besnard. The logline for the Netflix project (shared below) suggests that the film will offer a bold new take on the classic story, focused around the life of the man who inspired it,...

Netflix has greenlit French film Quasimodo, which is set to shoot this summer in France starring Vincent Cassel in the title role.

Set in Paris on the eve of the July Revolution of 1830, the film reimagines the life of the man said to have inspired Victor Hugo’s iconic character, Quasimodo. As the cholera epidemic spreads through the city, he’s caught between political turmoil and an impossible love.

The film is directed by Jean-Francois Richet, whose credits include the upcoming Jason Statham-starrer Mutiny and 2008’s Mesrine: Killer Instinct. The latter film also starred Cassel.

It is written by Eric Besnard,...

Back in 1831, author Victor Hugo brought the world the novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, telling the 1482-set story of Quasimodo, a deformed fellow who served as the bell-ringer of at the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. Nearly two hundred years later, versions of Hugo’s story are still being told on a regular basis – with the most recent adaptation being a film that’s set up at the Netflix streaming service. Deadline reports that Vincent Cassel (Black Swan) is set to play the title character in Quasimodo, which has Jean-François Richet attached to direct.

Richet may be best known for his work on action films like Plane, Blood Father, and the Assault on Precinct 13 remake, but he has also directed multiple dramas, the crimes films Mesrine: Killer Instinct and Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1, the period adventure film The Emperor of Paris, and the comedy One Wild Moment, a version of...

Netflix's The Hunchback of Notre Dame movie, titled Quasimodo, has reportedly found its Quasimodo and will begin filming this summer. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is originally the 19th-century gothic novel by Victor Hugo (also the author of Les Misérables) about a bell-ringer at the famous at Paris’ famous Notre Dame cathedral who falls in love with the Roma dancer Emserelda. Today, the most well-known adaptation is arguably the animated version by Disney, which significantly changed the story from the source material to be presented to the typical family-inclusive audience.

While Disney previously had plans for its own Hunchback of Notre Dame live-action remake, which would presumably be based on the studio's own movie, Netflix is working on Quasimodo and has just announced that Vincent Cassel will be taking on the lead role (via Deadline). Cassel will thus be collaborating with Jean-Francois Richet as the director and Eric Besnard as the screenwriter.

Vincent Cassel is set to star as one of the most enduring characters in the history of French literature. The Black Swan star will play the lead role in Quasimodo, which will explore the real person who inspired Victor Hugo to write The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Deadline reports that the film will be released by Netflix.

The film will be set in Paris on the eve of 1830's July Revolution, which dethroned King Charles X and installed Louis Philippe, the so-called "Citizen King." A cholera epidemic is ravaging the streets of the city, while Quasimodo is caught between political unrest and a strange, impossible love affair. The existence of a real Quasimodo isn't so far-fetched: there is evidence that the kyphotic bell-ringer at the ancient cathedral was inspired by a real person, albeit not one from the novel's 1400s setting. The memoirs of Henry Sibson, a British sculptor who...

Netflix has greenlit a feature retelling Quasimodo, the humpbacked man said to have inspired Victor Hugo’s French gothic novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. The Shrouds and Irréversible star Vincent Cassel is set to play the lead, Deadline reports.

Jean-Francois Richet (Plane) is set to direct from a screenplay by Eric Besnard (Wrath of Man).

Quasimodo‘s logline reads, “Set in Paris on the eve of the July Revolution (1830), this film reimagines the life of the man said to have inspired Victor Hugo’s iconic character, Quasimodo. As the cholera epidemic spreads through the city, he’s caught between political turmoil and an impossible love.”

Cassel, who will play the bell-ringer in the biopic, is also known for genre roles in Underwater, Black Swan, Sheitan, and more. Quasimodo also marks a reunion between Richet and Cassel; the pair previously worked together on crime thriller Mesrine.

Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame...

Netflix has landed its next big French project, “Quasimodo,” which will star Vincent Cassel as the iconic character created by Victor Hugo in his cult 1831 novel “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.”

The film will shoot this summer in France with Jean-Francois Richet (“Mesrine”) on board to direct, with a script penned by Eric Besnard (“Delicieux”). “Quasimodo” is being produced by Clément Miserez and Matthieu Warter at Radar Films, a Mediawan company.

Set in Paris on the eve of the July Revolution in 1830, the epic movie reimagines the life of the man who inspired the fictional character of Quadimodo, a disfigured man who as the bell-ringer for Notre Dame cathedral in Hugo’s “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.”

“As the cholera epidemic spreads through the city, he’s caught between political turmoil and an impossible love,” reads the synopsis. While the plot remains under wraps, the movie is believed to have a dark edge.

Netflix is turning to a French icon for its latest feature film.

The streaming service has greenlit a retelling of the life of Quasimodo, the man said to have inspired Victor Hugo’s bell-ringer in The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

Vincent Cassel (La Haine) has been cast in the titular role. Jean-Francois Richet (Plane) is set to direct a script penned by Eric Besnard (Wrath of Man). Mediawan’s Radar Films is housing the feature, with Clément Miserez and Matthieu Warter producing.

Here’s the Quasimodo logline: “Set in Paris on the eve of the July Revolution (1830), this film reimagines the life of the man said to have inspired Victor Hugo’s iconic character, Quasimodo. As the cholera epidemic spreads through the city, he’s caught between political turmoil and an impossible love.”

It may have been steamrolled by critics, but Jason Statham's Expend4bles is throwing haymakers on streaming again. The fourth and final installment in the testosterone-fueled Expendables franchise has bulldozed its way back into the Starz top 10 in the last week, and it's all thanks to the unexpected ripple effect of Statham’s newest theatrical hit, A Working Man. Despite debuting with a bruising 14% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the loud and brash 2023 action thriller has proven once again that audience taste doesn’t always line up with critical consensus. Expend4bles currently holds a far more respectable 69% audience rating, and fans are clearly hungry for more Statham mayhem while revisiting his most recent (and most explosive) team-up with Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren, and Tulsa King’s own Sylvester Stallone.

Expend4bles first dropped in 2023 to grim reviews and a whimper at the box office, seemingly putting a nail in the franchise’s coffin.

Action star Jason Statham is dominating the Prime Video charts today, with three of his most recent thrillers taking up residence in the Top 10. A Working Man, Wrath of Man, and The Beekeeper are all sitting pretty on the global chart for purchases, rentals, and movies available to subscribers, and all three are in good company among G20, The Accountant, and Another Simple Favor.

Released earlier this year, A Working Man sits at #1 on Prime Video, and rightfully so. As one of the highest-grossing action films of 2025 at the domestic box office, it stars The Stath as Levon Cade, an ex-Royal Marines commando-turned-construction foreman who's tasked with rescuing his boss's daughter from a gang of human traffickers. Grossing nearly $100 million worldwide, A Working Man is Verified Hot on Rotten Tomatoes with an 87% rating from fans, though critics weren't as kind to the film, giving it just a 49%.

Next up is Statham's 2021 hit,...

As we head into the month of June, Peacock is inviting subscribers to enjoy a heavy dose of high-octane action, as the Jason Statham favorite, The Mechanic, is set for a streaming release. The title will fall in line with numerous other favorites on NBCUniversal’s platform beginning on June 1. This is the perfect opportunity for those who haven’t yet taken the dive into the Statham-led series of films to jump into the action and see what it’s all about. With a 54% critics’ approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s obvious that the movie was a divisive production upon its theatrical arrival in 2011, but given that it eventually received a sequel just a few years later, there’s certainly still plenty to love for the Statham fans out there.

In The Mechanic, Statham stars as Arthur Bishop, a professional hitman known as a “mechanic” who has the uncanny...

If there's one thing that unites Jason Statham's recent films, barring their dependability at the box office, it's that his fans are likely to lap them up. His latest action vehicle, director David Ayer's A Working Man, appears to have concluded its theatrical run painfully shy of the $100 million milestone. But, a few years ago, another of his grim action movies was successfully able to pass this coveted milestone despite having been released at a far more precarious time during the pandemic. Now, that film — Wrath of Man — is gaining steam on streaming.

According to FlixPatrol, Wrath of Mantook the seventh spot in Prime Video's daily rankings on May 21, earning a total of 81 points. Wrath of Man has accumulated around 5,500 points on Prime Video this year. It was narrowly beaten in Monday's rankings by another action movie, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, while A Working Man topped the charts.

Jason Statham’s new movie has officially concluded its theatrical run, but another of his more recent flicks has surged to streaming success over the weekend. Statham stars alongside Megan Fox and Sylvester Stallone in Expend4bles, the 2023 action thriller that concluded the Expendables franchise. Expend4bles has been streaming on Starz for more than a year now, and it even spent more than 200 days atop streaming charts before exiting the top 10 earlier this year. However, the recent release of A Working Man has fans rushing to check out Statham’s filmography, which has propelled the film back into the Starz top 10. Expend4bles was panned by critics upon release, leading to it earning a 14% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but the audience-driven Popcornmeter sits at a much more respectable 69%.

Jason Statham has been extremely busy lately, and things are only going to pick up as the actor has several intriguing projects in the works.

The latest action thriller outing from genre icon Jason Statham has quietly landed on streaming. The actor and martial artist continues to fly the flag for crowd-pleasing, no-nonsense action fare, with The Beekeeper star delivering his own take on Liam Neeson’s Taken in A Working Man, which finds The Stath tracking down his friend's daughter after she’s suddenly kidnapped. Thankfully, he has a particular set of skills that he can put to good use.

Directed by The Beekeeper’s David Ayer, and with a script from Statham’s Expendables co-star Sylvester Stallone, A Working Man also stars David Harbour, Michael Peña (End of Watch), Jason Flemyng, Arianna Rivas (The Black Phone 2), Noemi Gonzalez (Selena: The Series), and Emmett J. Scanlan. A Working Man is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, and you can check out the official synopsis below.

“Levon Cade left behind a decorated military career in...

After opening up the year with A Working Man, one of Jason Statham’s older movies has resurfaced on streaming charts more than 10 years later. Statham stars alongside Stranger Things veteran Winona Ryder in Homefront, the 2013 conspiracy thriller following a former DEA agent who moves to a quiet town but soon begins to get tangled up with a drug lord and his local meth operation. Homefront, which also stars Clancy Brown, hit Prime Video not long ago, and the film has surged into the top 10, sitting at #9 at the time of writing. Homefront falls just behind Reacher, the action series led by Alan Ritchson, which sits at #8. Statham’s action film earned a 42% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but the audience-driven Popcornmeter lands at a slightly higher 61%.

Sylvester Stallone wrote the script for Homefront, and he also re-teamed with Jason Statham earlier this year to write A Working Man. The...

The Beekeeper 2 is moving forward quickly, as the highly-anticipated sequel has now secured a theatrical distributor and an impending production start. Starring Jason Statham in the title role, The Beekeeper was a revenge thriller released in 2024 that quickly became one of the actor's highest-grossing solo action films. The Stath will return as the nation's lethal protector in a fast-moving sequel that has Amazon buzzing with excitement (and money).

According to Deadline, Amazon MGM Studios has officially acquired the worldwide distribution rights to The Beekeeper 2 in a hefty deal worth more than $50 million. The sequel will begin production this fall, which will be directed by Timo Tjahjanto (Nobody 2), who is taking over the reins after David Ayer helmed the first installment. Kurt Wimmer will return to write the screenplay for the upcoming sequel. Amazon MGM distributed The Beekeeper in 2024 to box office success, grossing $162 million worldwide on a $40 million budget.

Director Timo Tjahjanto has now revealed a crucial update regarding the highly anticipated action thriller sequel, The Beekeeper 2. The follow-up will find action movie icon Jason Statham in the lead once again, with the filmmaker taking to social media to provide a production update that’s sure to have fans buzzing.

Asked by a fan on X/Twitter if he had any idea when The Beekeeper 2 will start filming, Tjahjanto revealed that it will be “Soon, Jason already putting me on his honey glazed boiled Chicken breast diet.” Meaning it likely won’t be long before we receive further updates, including plot, cast, and release details.

Hitting theaters and streaming with a bang last year, the first The Beekeeper finds The Stath leading the way as the mysterious Adam Clay, a lowly beekeeper who reveals he is none other than a retired black ops assassin from an organization known as “Beekeepers,...

Let’s face it. We could all use a little more Jason Statham in our lives. The British actor is everything that a hero should be and is hands-down one of the best modern action stars around. Fully in agreement with our sentiments, Hulu is cooking up a little something special for Statham fans next month when the streamer will make both The Transporter and The Transporter 2 available to subscribers on May 9. If you’re thinking “there’s something missing,” you’re right, because The Transporter 3 won’t be part of the streamer’s Statham-packed lineup. However, you don’t need the full trilogy when you have the first and second films, especially since the follow-up is celebrating a milestone moment with this year marking its 20th anniversary. That’s right – we’re all old!

In 2002, filmmakers Corey Yuen and Louis Leterrier introduced audiences to Frank Martin, a mercenary...

Actor Jason Statham and Hollywood mainstay Sylvester Stallone have collaborated on six feature films together. They starred opposite each other in four "Expendables" movies (with Statham taking the lead over Stallone for the abysmal "Expend4bles"), and Statham starred in the Stallone-scripted "Homefront" in 2013. Most recently, Stallone wrote the script for the 2025 David Ayer-directed Statham vehicle "A Working Man." The pair, one can infer, know each other's work very well. 

Statham, 57, has long been one of cinema's most reliable badasses, often playing cops, mercenaries, assassins, killer, or other ultra-capable dolers of violence. He has done a lot of his own stunts, and he ran down his injuries in a 2023 interview with Collider. He did a real helicopter stunt for the movie "Crank," which he said was quite difficult, and he recalled having to actually jump from a moving jetski onto the back of a speeding bus in "Transporter 2." Surprisingly,...

A Working Man, the latest action effort from genre icon Jason Statham is now available to stream at home. The thriller has been another big hit for the actor and finds The Stath on solid ground as a mysterious man with a violent past who, while trying to live a quiet life, is pulled back into action when his friend’s daughter goes missing.

A Working Man, which hit theaters just last month, has now landed on digital streaming. The action thriller is now available to watch at home via premium video on demand, and can be rented or purchased through the likes of AppleTV, Fandango at Home and Prime Video.

Directed by The Beekeeper’s David Ayer, and with a script from Statham’s Expendables co-star Sylvester Stallone, A Working Man also stars David Harbour (Stranger Things), Michael Peña (End of Watch), Jason Flemyng, Arianna Rivas (The Black Phone...

It seems that Jason Statham can do no wrong in the eyes of the fans that regularly soak in his movies with joyful glee. Whether he's beating down the bad guys, or sharing a tender moment with one of his co-stars, the English actor is a favorite of many that have been following his career since he first broke onto the scene in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. In his latest movie, A Working Man, Statham reunites with his Beekeeper director David Ayer for yet another gritty action thriller, and the filmmaker believes he knows why audiences love a good Statham flick.

Speaking with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Ayer said he believes that the success of Statham's movies stems from the fact that he's just a regular guy that we can all identify with. "He has that everyman quality," the director said. Indeed, it's that trait that's front and center in A Working Man,...

Action movie icon Jason Statham continues to fly the flag for crowd-pleasing, no-nonsense action thriller fare with this month’s A Working Man, which has now delivered a knockout blow at the box office. Leaving the latest Disney live-action remake, Snow White, in the dust, A Working Man knocks The House of Mouse movie into second place, earning $15.2 million in its opening weekend.

Directed by The Beekeeper’s David Ayer, and with a script from Statham’s Expendables co-star Sylvester Stallone, A Working Man also stars David Harbour (Stranger Things), Michael Peña (End of Watch), Jason Flemyng, Arianna Rivas (The Black Phone 2), Noemi Gonzalez (Selena: The Series), and Emmett J. Scanlan. A Working Man is out now in theaters, and you can check out the official synopsis below.

Levon Cade left behind a decorated military career in the black ops to live a simple life working construction. But when his boss's daughter,...

Whether he’s an ex-assassin-turned-beekeeper, or an assassin posing as a mechanic, an ex- Special Forces soldier dragged out of retirement for one last mission, or even just a run-of-the-mill unlicensed street salesman, Jason Statham always brings a gritty magnetism to the screen. Even when what’s playing on the screen has been panned by both critics and audiences alike. Such is the case with the 2013 action thriller, Parker, which is now headed to free streaming.

But, while Parker may have been panned at the time, it’s worth a watch for anyone looking for a reliably charming performance from The Stath, who once again demonstrates his particular set of skills in this tale of a professional thief who finds himself double-crossed and left for dead.

Directed by Taylor Hackford and written by John J. McLaughlin, Parker sees Jason Statham team-up with Jennifer Lopez while facing off against The Shield star Michael Chiklis.

Action icon Jason Statham gets to work in the final trailer for action thriller A Working Man, which is due to hit theaters this Friday. The Stath once again plies his gloriously violent trade in A Working Man, which finds The Beekeeper star on familiar ground as a man with a secret past who must resurrect his particular set of skills after his boss and friend's daughter is kidnapped by human traffickers.

Directed by The Beekeeper’s David Ayer, and with a script from Statham’s Expendables co-star Sylvester Stallone, A Working Man also stars David Harbour (Stranger Things), Michael Peña (End of Watch), Jason Flemyng, Arianna Rivas (The Black Phone 2), Noemi Gonzalez (Selena: The Series), and Emmett J. Scanlan. A Working Man is scheduled to land in theaters on March 28, 2025, and you can check out the final trailer and synopsis below.

Ship, the announced sequel to the Gerard Butler-starring Plane, gets a new update from star Mike Colter. Released in 2023 and directed by Jean-François Richet, Plane stars Butler as Brodie Torrance, an airline pilot and former Raf officer who teams up with Colter's Louis Gaspare to rescue his passengers after being forced to land in a war zone. The film was a critical and commercial success, and it was announced shortly after the film's release that a sequel called Ship was in the works. Few updates on the project have emerged since, however.

Now, during a panel at Indiana Comic Con hosted by Collider, Colter shares an update on the status of the Plane sequel. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like there's been much movement on Ship just yet, with Colter blaming the delay on the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes of 2023, which began only months after Ship's announcement. According to Colter,...

Asked about the action movie follow-up, Colter revealed that, due to the Hollywood strikes, the actor has been left waiting to get the go-ahead from Butler and his production company.

"The status on that is that it was a thing that happened during the strike. They were supposed to be following through on it [then the strike happened]. There's things going on.

“All right...let’s play.” Action movie icon Jason Statham does what he does best in a new action-packed clip from this month’s highly anticipated action thriller, A Working Man. Directed by The Beekeeper’s David Ayer, and with a script from Statham’s Expendables co-star Sylvester Stallone, A Working Man is set to hit theaters on March 28, 2025, and promises to be another crowd-pleasing action outing much like last year’s surprise hit, The Beekeeper.

You can check out the footage below, which finds The Stath entering the lion’s den where a criminal overlord named Dutch vastly underestimates the granite-jawed killer in front of him. Making the classic mistake of telling his henchmen to “get him,” Statham tears through his assailants with ease, throwing fists, breaking bones, and no doubt resulting in cheers and applause from the audience.
