Recent Releases Lighting Up 2025
A Working Man marks a key 2025 highlight for Jason Statham, where he plays Levon Cade, a former black ops soldier turned construction worker hunting human traffickers who kidnapped his employer's daughter. Directed and produced by David Ayer with Sylvester Stallone co-writing, the film draws from Chuck Dixon's novel Levon's Trade and features Michael Peña and David Harbour.
The official trailer has generated buzz, positioning it as a tense thriller in Statham's signature style. Released this year, it follows his 2024 hit The Beekeeper, reinforcing his appeal in vigilante narratives amid streaming surges.
Meanwhile, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre enjoys a sleeper hit revival on Netflix, climbing global charts in December 2025 and outpacing recent blockbusters in viewer engagement.
Upcoming Projects for 2026 and Beyond
Statham's pipeline is packed, with The Beekeeper 2 in post-production where he reprises Adam Clay. As both star and producer, it builds on the original's success, promising escalated action.
Shelter and Mutiny, both set for 2026 and also produced by Statham, feature him in lead roles alongside Fast X: Part 2 as Deckard Shaw. Viva La Madness rounds out pre-production efforts, signaling a prolific phase.
These projects highlight Statham's evolution from performer to powerhouse producer, with four 2023 films like Meg 2: The Trench and Expend4bles paving the way for sustained momentum.
