Jason Statham’s New Action-Comedy Is His Wildest Role Yet

-

British action star Jason Statham is ready to surprise fans once again. His new film, Jason Statham Stole My Bike, will reunite him with director David Leitch — and this time, the movie promises something very different.

The action-comedy is set to begin filming in May and is already generating strong buzz in Hollywood. With a reported budget of $80 million or more, this is not a small project. Instead, it is shaping up to be one of Statham’s most unique and entertaining films yet.

Jason Statham Plays… Jason Statham?

According to early reports, Statham will play a fictional version of himself — a global action superstar named Jason Statham. The movie is being described as tongue-in-cheek, meaning it will mix humor with big action scenes.

The film is aiming for a PG-13 rating, making it more accessible to a wider audience. It will also feature several large action set pieces, something fans expect from both Statham and Leitch.

This isn’t the first time Statham has succeeded in action-comedy. His performance in Spy alongside Melissa McCarthy earned some of the best reviews of his career. That film proved he can balance tough action with smart comedy.

Jason Statham’s New Action-Comedy Is His Wildest Role Yet

David Leitch and Statham: A Strong Action Duo

Statham and Leitch previously worked together on Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, which made around $700 million at the global box office. The movie paired Statham’s Deckard Shaw with Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and became a major hit in the Fast & Furious franchise.

But their partnership goes back even further. Leitch worked as a fight coordinator and second unit director on The Mechanic and contributed to The Fate of the Furious before directing Hobbs & Shaw.

Leitch has built a strong reputation in action-comedy with movies like:

His style mixes stylish fight scenes with humor, making him the perfect director for this new Statham project.

Who Is Behind the Script?

The screenplay for Jason Statham Stole My Bike is written by Alison Flierl, known for her work on the animated series BoJack Horseman and School of Rock. Her background in comedy suggests the movie will lean heavily into smart, character-driven humor.

Production company Black Bear is backing the project and planning a wide theatrical release. There are also reports that Amazon may secure international streaming rights in several territories.

Jason Statham’s Busy Action Career

Statham continues to dominate both theaters and streaming platforms. His recent action film The Beekeeper, directed by David Ayer, performed strongly at the box office and later became a major hit on Prime Video.

He also starred in A Working Man and recently released Shelter.

Looking ahead, Statham’s upcoming projects include:

  • Mutiny

  • The Beekeeper 2

  • Viva La Madness (directed by Guy Ritchie)

Even older films like The Mechanic regularly appear in Netflix’s Top 10 list, proving that Statham remains a strong action brand worldwide.

Why This Movie Could Be Different

Most of Statham’s recent films have been serious action thrillers. However, Jason Statham Stole My Bike offers something new — a self-aware comedy where he plays an exaggerated version of himself.

This kind of role allows Statham to show a lighter, more playful side while still delivering the explosive action scenes fans expect.

With David Leitch’s direction and a strong production budget, the movie could become one of the most entertaining action-comedies in recent years.

If everything goes according to plan, this could truly be the “ride of his life” — both for Statham and his audience.
