This Mom’s Day weekend, Jason Statham and Man Ritchie gave moviegoers an additional dose of testosterone. Extra particularly, the A-list action star and the infamous British filmmaker introduced Wrath of Man, their newest collaboration, into theaters nationwide.
The chummy filmmaking staff behind Lock, Inventory, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and Revolver have left followers keen for his or her subsequent mission; this reunion has been many years within the making! Fortunately, audiences received’t want to attend fairly so lengthy for his or her subsequent mission, which is one in every of a number of upcoming movies with Statham connected — together with The Meg 2 and a doable Hobbs & Shaw 2. If you happen to love the action star, right here’s what’s in retailer. Sadly, Crank 3 isn’t listed right here, however possibly — simply possibly — that day will ultimately come!
Untitled Man Ritchie Movie – TBD (Submit-Manufacturing)
There was an prolonged delay between 2005’s Revolver and this previous weekend’s Wrath of Man, however we received’t have to attend fairly as lengthy for the subsequent team-up between Jason Statham and Man Ritchie. The actor and director will reunite as soon as extra for an untitled action-thriller that can function Statham as an M16 agent who will get recruited by a worldwide intelligence alliance to trace down and cease the sale of lethal weapon expertise that threatens the world’s annihilation.
Throughout this perilous mission, our loner agent should study to collaborate with a top-notch CIA agent (Aubrey Plaza). It’s a mismatched pairing which may show to be equally as risky — maybe equally as explosive, too.
Whereas the plot appears like 1,000,000 different movies within the more and more expansive spy style, this one ought to hopefully profit from the long-standing collaborative mojo shared between its lead star and skilled filmmaker, together with the spunky power and fast wit that’s sometimes discovered within the filmmaker’s higher movies.
Proper now, we don’t know once we can count on to see this new movie, which is reportedly titled 5 Eyes. Because it’s presently in post-production, although, it’s not inconceivable to presume that we may be getting two Jason Statham/Man Ritchie movies in a single yr. How about that?
Small Darkish Look – TBD (Introduced)
Over the course of 20 years (properly, technically three), Jason Statham has carved a cushty area of interest for himself with a sequence of self-aware, largely irreverent action movies, together with franchise automobiles like The Transporter trilogy and the Quick & Livid movies. But when his newest movie comes collectively, the established A-list actor would possibly commerce his action heroics for dramatic chops.
Extra particularly, he’ll star in Small Darkish Look, a grounded crime drama from director Martin Zandvliet (Land of Mine). Written by Steven Knight (Locke), the movie facilities on the Russian mafia in London. So, possibly not an enormous leap from what we’ve seen from Statham — at the very least, when it comes to idea. However the execution right here will possible be darker than Statham’s different, extra lighthearted movies.
As Deadline reported final yr, Jason Statham’s deal isn’t locked into place. Due to this fact, it’s not a assure that Small Darkish Look shall be locked into place with Statham connected. Hopefully it does, although, as a result of it might be intriguing to see the actor stretch himself as a dramatic performer. One in all his greatest movies, The Financial institution Job, discovered a steadiness between action and drama. Hopefully, Statham can discover related success right here.
The Meg 2: The Trench – TBD (Introduced)
We haven’t heard an excessive amount of about The Meg 2: The Trench, the sequel to 2018’s splashy sleeper hit, but it surely sounds just like the shark-based thriller is shifting alongside … swimmingly.
It’s unclear if the mission is even within the early levels of pre-production. If it’s not, although, it needs to be very quickly. In accordance with Jason Statham, the shoot is predicted to start out in January 2022 — that means that we may see The Meg 2 within the subsequent two or three years.
In October, director Ben Wheatley signed on to helm The Meg 2: The Trench. Might this be a darker, R-rated follow-up to the PG-13 blockbuster? It is sensible to rent Wheatley to direct a sequel with extra blood within the water (fairly actually, on this case). In the end, we will solely speculate in the mean time. Because the mission gears in direction of manufacturing, we’ll dig deeper into the ditch and see what’s hiding beneath the reef.
Hobbs And Shaw 2? – TBD (Rumored)
A high-testosterone, push-and-pull buddy/frenemy spin-off journey centered round two rip-roaring aspect characters from the Quick & Livid universe, Hobbs & Shaw, a.okay.a. Quick & Livid Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, was a big-budget showcase for its lead actors and producers, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham. Within the vein of Tango & Money, this ludicrous spectacle was extra winking and sardonic than earlier F&F movies; it relied closely on the rough-and-tumble star energy of its A-list lead actors.
A sequel hasn’t been formally introduced, however Hobbs & Shaw did better-than-decent enterprise, pulling in practically $800 million worldwide. Suffice to say, we haven’t seen the final of Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw. However when can we count on to reunite with these high-speed knuckleheads? For now, we’ll have to attend and see, however Statham is sport.
In an interview with Collider, Jason Statham confirmed enthusiasm for Hobbs & Shaw 2, although the action actor admits that the script wants to return collectively earlier than he indicators on the dotted line. He additionally expressed curiosity in returning to the common F&F universe.
Due to this fact, Quick & Livid followers ought to hopefully anticipate being reacquainted with Deckard Shaw sooner or later later down the highway. In spite of everything, Han Lue has a rating to settle; Shaw shouldn’t be sleeping simple after what he did to the beloved character. Justice must be served!

Following its worldwide launch, Wrath of Synthetic its solution to American audiences on Could seventh. Reuniting with frequent collaborator Man Ritchie, Jason Statham’s newest action-packed star car may not have been an entire return-to-form for its lead actor or director, however the English-language remake of 2004’s Money Truck received audiences over with its hard-hitting action, punchy dialogue, and normal macho rogue toughness.
