Statham to Play Himself in New Action Comedy
14 Feb
Summary
- Jason Statham will star as himself in a new action comedy.
- The film, tentatively titled 'Jason Statham Stole My Bike,' has an $80M budget.
- Director David Leitch will reunite with Statham for the project.
Plans for a 'Hobbs & Shaw' sequel appear to have stalled, but Jason Statham is set to reunite with director David Leitch for a new action-comedy. The film, tentatively titled 'Jason Statham Stole My Bike,' is reportedly aiming for a budget of just over $80 million and is slated for production to begin in May.
This project promises a unique premise where Statham will play the role of a lifetime: himself. Conceived as a PG-13 production with a tongue-in-cheek tone, the movie is expected to feature numerous major action set pieces. This marks another collaboration between Statham and Leitch, who has directed other successful action films such as 'Deadpool 2' and 'Bullet Train.'
Fans can anticipate seeing both Statham and Leitch in new projects before 'Jason Statham Stole My Bike.' Leitch is expected to release a heist film in September 2026. Statham has 'Mutiny' coming later this year and 'The Beekeeper 2' scheduled for 2027.
