With the thrill of fast cars, bone-breaking action, and raw intensity that has become his signature, Jason Statham isn’t letting up anytime soon. From his unforgettable stints inLock, Stock and Two Smoking BarrelstoThe Transporter, he’s been lighting up the screen with a thrilling grip that grabs you by the collar and throws you off your guard.
Statham’s career took off like a turbocharged engine when he first appeared in Guy Ritchie’sLock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrelsin 1998. The movie’s success set the stage for what would become a fruitful partnership between Statham and Ritchie, culminating inSnatch(2000).
These films didn’t merely put Statham on the map—they catapulted him to the front seat of modern action cinema, making him the face of a new breed of heroes: quick-witted, fearless, and ready to take on the world. And judging by an exciting slate of projects lined up for 2025, it’s clear that Statham’s star power isn’t just burning bright—it’s set to explode, lighting up cinema screens for years to come.
1.A Working Man: Could this be the start of a new franchise?
Set to release on June 26, 2025,A Working ManbringsJason Stathamback into the action spotlight, but this time, he’snot just playing a hired gun or a ruthless fighter. The actor steps into the shoes of Agent Levon Cade, a former black ops agent who’s done with the bloodshed and violence, opting instead for a quiet life with his daughter.
But as we know all too well, when you’ve spent years in the line of fire, peace isn’t always an option. Cade is about to be thrust back into the warzone, proving once again that even when you’re trying to walk away, trouble has a way of finding you, especially if you are a character being played by Statham!
So when someone close to Levon goes missing, he is forced to return to the shadows of his past, using every skill he has to track down the truth and deliver justice. The film reunites Jason Statham withThe Beekeeperdirector David Ayer, a collaboration that already has action movie enthusiasts excited. What makes this even more intriguing is the involvement ofRockylegendSylvester Stallone, who’s taken the reins of the screenplay.
Stallone and Statham have built a powerhouse duo, lighting up the screen inThe Expendablesseries. Their bond goes beyond mere action; Stallone also put pen to paper, co-writing the 2013 thrillerHomefront, solidifying their partnership as a well-tuned team. Ayer’s direction and Stallone’s writing promise to take this film to another level, as they weigh in not only explosive action but also the deep emotional stakes that hound the central character.
And it’s not just Statham leading the charge—David Harbour(ofStranger Thingsfame),Michael Peña(known forAmerican Hustle), and Jason Flemyng (who starred alongside Statham inLock, Stock and Two Smoking BarrelsandTransporter 2) round out the impressive cast.

Originally, Stallone was all set to adapt Chuck Dixon’sLevon’s Tradefor the small screen, but the tides turned when Ayer and Statham got involved (viaDeadline), and the project switched gears to become a feature film. With filming wrapped up in May 2024 (viaThe Knowledge), the movie is now gearing up for a June 15, 2025 release.
Also, there’s plenty of potential for sequels, provided this one performs well at the box office. With more than ten books in the series, Statham and Stallone could have a brand-new franchise on their hands ifA Working Manturns out to be a success.
2.Mutiny: A Race Against Time
Directed by Jean-François Richet, the man behind films likePlaneandMesrine,Mutinylooks set to deliver exactly what fans of Jason Statham have been craving. The movie pairs his action chops with Richet’s knack for tension-filled storytelling. This is the first time Statham is working with Richet, and the combo promises to hit all the right notes.
While the movie doesn’t have a confirmed release date just yet, it’s slated to drop sometime in 2025 (viaMovieWeb). Statham isn’t just playing the lead role—he’s also stepping up as a co-producer through his new production company, Punch Palace Productions, giving him a hands-on approach to shaping the film’s direction.
Besides Statham, the cast also includesPeaky BlindersstarAnnabelle Wallis, who’s playing the female lead opposite him. While her exact role is still under wraps, fans are already speculating whether she’ll be a trusted ally, a dangerous adversary, or perhaps something in between.
Rounding out the cast areJason Wongand Ben Cartwright. And with a screenplay penned by J.P. Davis (the writer behindPlaneandThe Contractor),Mutinyis shaping up to be a must-watch.
While it’s still too early to say exactly when it’ll hit theaters, the anticipation surroundingMutinyis already growing by the day. If the movie lives up to its promise, it could be another feather in Statham’s already impressive beret.
More action flicks down the line starring Jason Statham
After the success of the firstBeekeepermovie, which grossed over $150 million against a $40 million budget (viaBox Office Mojo), many are hoping for a sequel. Jason Statham’s character, Clay, left a trail of destruction as he took down those responsible for the tragic death of his family, and the door is wide open for more of the same. Director David Ayer has hinted that he’s interested in exploring further installments in this world (viaInverse):
We cracked the door a little bit into the Beekeeper world, and I would love to learn more about them.
While a definitive release date for the sequel remains under wraps, the production timeline for the first film provides some insight into what we might expect. Principal photography forThe Beekeeperbegan in September 2022 and wrapped in December of that year (viaThe Direct). If the sequel follows a similar schedule, we could be looking at an early to mid-2026 release.
Next up is the highly awaitedFast X: Part 2, the final movie in the iconicFast & Furiousfranchise. The film is slated for an unspecified June 2026 release, and a number of fan-favorite characters, including Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw will make a return.

Jason Statham’s Shady Past Made His Hollywood Debut Much More Theatric That Even Involved Tom Cruise: ‘Without him, there wouldn’t be all this’
Last but not least, there are speculations of a thirdMegflick in talks. While nothing has been set in stone yet, directorBen Wheatleyonce expressed his desire to invest inMeg 3(viaGames Radar), given thatMeg 2: The Trench(2023) was successful.
TheMegsequel actually managed to swim through the treacherous box-office ocean with a comfy $400 million catch (Box Office Mojo), making it one of the possible movies Statham might want to net in the future. But given how busyThe Expendablesstar’s schedule is, the film, if greenlit, won’t be spearheading to theaters before 2026.So tighten your seatbelt, because if you thought you’d seen all the thrills Jason Statham has to offer, you’re in for a surprise.
