Jason Statham may not be pursuing any Academy Awards anytime soon, but at least the action star knows what works and sticks to it. Statham has been starring in one action movie per year for the last few years, but he’s turning up the heat in 2026 by starring in two films, Shelter and Mutiny. The former is his first action vehicle of the year, which is already winding down its theatrical run after a disappointing box office performance. Statham co-stars alongside Naomi Ackie (Mickey 17) in the actioner, which was directed by Ric Roman Waugh. Mutiny is another new action thriller co-starring Annabelle Wallis (Peaky Blinders). It hails from director Jean-François Richet (Plane), and it will arrive in theaters everywhere this August. Statham also has several projects in the works slated to come out in 2027 and beyond.
Three years ago, Statham suited up as Lee Christmas for the fourth and final time in Expend4bles. He played the character for the first time 13 years prior in the first Expendables movie, which was a massive success at the box office, grossing nearly $275 million globally against an $80 million budget. As the years passed, though, the demand for Statham and his Expendables co-stars like Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren declined. This led to the fourth film being a complete disaster at the box office, grossing less than $40 million globally against a $100 million budget. However, Expend4bles recently premiered on Netflix in America, and the film quickly rose to #1 on the U.S. streaming charts. It took a few years, but it finally found streaming redemption.
What Is Jason Statham Working on After ‘Mutiny’?
Following the release of Mutiny this summer, Jason Statham will return to theaters next January for The Beekeeper 2. Timo Tjahjanto has taken over directorial control from David Ayer for the sequel, which also stars Pom Klementieff (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) and Adam Copeland (Percy Jackson and the Olympians). Statham is also attached to star with Jason Isaacs in Guy Ritchie’s new action thriller, which is being billed as a sequel/reboot to Daniel Craig’s Layer Cake. Just last week, news broke that Statham was attached to star in the new action blockbuster from David Leitch, Jason Statham Stole My Bike. He will play himself in the film, which will begin production this summer.
Be sure to watch Expend4bles before it’s removed from Netflix, and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.
