Action icon Jason Statham has revealed our first look at his upcoming action thriller, Mutiny. Taking to Instagram, The Stath shared the first image from the movie, which finds that actor in a familiar place – standing with a gun in his hand and ready to take out as many bad guys as he can with a stern look on his face. You can check out the first look at Mutiny below.
Statham will unite with the director behind last year’s Gerard Butler-led Plane, Jean-François Richet, for Mutiny, which will find The Beekeeper star on the run while uncovering a major global conspiracy. The rest of the cast includes Peaky Blinders and Malignant star Annabelle Wallis and Wrath of Man and The Gentlemen’s Jason Wong. You can check out the official synopsis below.
“In Mutiny, after his billionaire industrialist boss is murdered in front of him, Cole Reed is set up to take the fall for the crime— leaving him on the run as he works to uncover an international conspiracy.”
Jason Statham & Jean-François Richet Are a Match Made in Action Movie Heaven
Mutiny will be distributed by Lionsgate, with the studio reportedly picking up the rights for eight figures. The action thriller was written by Plane’s J.P. Davis and Lindsay Michel, with VP, Co-Productions and Acquisitions for the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group’s Lauren Bixby teasing the teaming up of Statham and Jean-François Richet, which was well-received by both critics and audiences alike, achieving 79% from the former and 94% from the latter on Rotten Tomatoes.
“Jason Statham is one of the most kinetic action stars in the world and we look forward to teaming him up with Jean-François and the MadRiver team who we previously worked with on Plane. We can’t wait to see that creative energy once again as we bring Mutiny to life.”

While Jason Statham fans are no doubt excited to see the action star once again ply his trade and demonstrate his particular set of skills in Mutiny, many will be wondering what is going on with a sequel to this year’s hit, The Beekeeper. Nothing has yet been announced regarding The Beekeeper 2, but director David Ayer is buzzing to return, teasing what we can expect from a follow-up and the further exploration of the nefarious, mysterious organization known as “beekeepers.”
“Absolutely. I mean, I’m fascinated by the mythology of the beekeepers. We’ve cracked the door a little bit and seen what they can do. Now I want to know: who are they, where did they come from, and where are they going? And where did Jason come from in all this? There’s so much more to explore and it’s another opportunity to work with Jason.”
