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 group behind Lock, Inventory, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and Revolver have left followers keen for his or her subsequent mission; this reunion has been a long time within the making! Fortunately, audiences gained’t want to attend fairly so lengthy for his or her subsequent mission, which is one among a number of upcoming movies with Statham connected — together with The Meg 2 and a attainable Hobbs & Shaw 2. Should you love the action star, right here’s what’s in retailer. Sadly, Crank 3 isn’t listed right here, however perhaps — simply perhaps — that day will ultimately come!
Untitled Man Ritchie Movie – TBD (Put up-Manufacturing)There was an prolonged delay between 2005’s Revolver and this previous weekend’s Wrath of Man, however we gained’t have to attend fairly as lengthy for the following team-up between Jason Statham and Man Ritchie. The actor and director will reunite as soon as extra for an untitled action-thriller that may characteristic 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 unstable — maybe equally as explosive, too.
Whereas the plot seems like one million 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 vitality and fast wit that’s usually discovered within the filmmaker’s higher movies. Proper now, we don’t know after we can anticipate to see this new movie, which is reportedly titled 5 Eyes. Because it’s presently in post-production, although, it’s not unattainable to presume that we is likely to be getting two Jason Statham/Man Ritchie movies in a single 12 months. How about that?
Small Darkish Look – TBD (Introduced)Over the course of twenty years (properly, technically three), Jason Statham has carved a cushty area of interest for himself with a collection of self-aware, largely irreverent action movies, together with franchise autos 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, perhaps not an enormous leap from what we’ve seen from Statham — a minimum of, by way of idea. However the execution right here will probably be darker than Statham’s different, extra lighthearted movies.
As Deadline reported final 12 months, Jason Statham’s deal isn’t locked into place. Subsequently, it’s not a assure that Small Darkish Look will probably 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. Certainly one of his finest 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, nevertheless it sounds just like the shark-based thriller is transferring alongside … swimmingly.
It’s unclear if the mission is even within the early levels of pre-production. If it’s not, although, it ought to be very quickly. In keeping with Jason Statham, the shoot is anticipated 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 smart to rent Wheatley to direct a sequel with extra blood within the water (fairly actually, on this case). Finally, we are able to 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.ok.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 anticipate to reunite with these high-speed knuckleheads? For now, we’ll have to attend and see, however Statham is recreation.
In an interview with Collider, Jason Statham confirmed enthusiasm for Hobbs & Shaw 2, although the action actor admits that the script wants to come back collectively earlier than he indicators on the dotted line. He additionally expressed curiosity in returning to the common F&F universe.
Subsequently, Quick & Livid followers ought to hopefully anticipate being reacquainted with Deckard Shaw in some unspecified time in the future later down the highway. In any case, Han Lue has a rating to settle; Shaw shouldn’t be sleeping straightforward after what he did to the beloved character. Justice must be served!
