Jason Statham has only had one feature film in 2026 so far, but it hasn’t measured up to the success of his other movies from the past few years. Statham starred in Shelter, the next action movie from Greenland director Ric Roman Waugh, which hit theaters back in January. The film carried a reported budget of $50 million, leaving it with a break-even point of around $100 million, but the best it could do was recover its production costs, grossing $54 million globally by the end of its run. Statham returns to theaters in just over one month for his next action movie, Mutiny, which comes from Plane director Jean François-Richet. Statham will even reprise his role as Adam Clay in a sequel to The Beekeeper, which is easily his most successful movie of the last few years.
While it didn’t reach the same heights as The Beekeeper, another Jason Statham-led epic that did quite well both among critics and at the box office was A Working Man. The film is nearly an identical clone to Keanu Reeves' first John Wick movie, but where one sought revenge for the killing of his dog, the other went on the hunt after his boss’ daughter was kidnapped. Both The Beekeeper and A Working Man cost around $40 million to make, and while A Working Man only grossed around $89 million globally — half the total of The Beekeeper — it was still enough to be considered a profitable film. A Working Man has been streaming on both MGM+ and Prime Video since last year, and it’s been in the top 10 on either platform all of 2026, making it one of the biggest streaming hits of the year thus far.
What Do We Know About ‘The Beekeeper 2’?
While it was once thought that The Beekeeper 2 would make it to theaters before the end of 2026, it has now been confirmed that the film will not be released until January 15, 2027. While plot specifics about the film are being kept under wraps, it will take place after the events of The Beekeeper, showing Adam Clay now on the run from the government after his actions in the first film. David Ayer is not returning to direct The Beekeeper 2 due to scheduling conflicts, but Amazon has enlisted Timo Tjahjanto, director of Nobody 2, to direct the sequel.
Check out A Working Man on either MGM+ or Prime Video, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Jason Statham’s future projects.
