It’s Jason Statham. You know it doesn’t need much ceremony. Man with a dark past, perhaps, some criminals make a mistake and cross him, and boom, before you know it, their limbs are in pieces, and audiences are delighted. That’s exactly what you get with this sequel. It’s got assassinations, betrayals, exotic locations, and Statham being all Statham while solving problems physicists would struggle with. And now you can watch it all for free.
Mechanic: Resurrection is streaming for free this month on Fawesome. Released in 2016, the sequel brings Statham back as Arthur Bishop, a retired hitman who is, wait for it, forced back into action when an old enemy kidnaps the woman he loves. To save her, Bishop must carry out a series of assassinations that appear to be accidents. Sort of like Hitman really. He’s bald too.
The cast includes Statham (The Transporter, The Beekeeper) as Arthur Bishop, Jessica Alba (Sin City, Fantastic Four) as Gina Thornton, Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive, Men in Black) as Max Adams, Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as Mei, Sam Hazeldine (Slow Horses, The Huntsman: Winter’s War) as Crain, Rhatha Phongam (Only God Forgives, The Protector 2) as Courier, and John Cenatiempo (The Sopranos, The Equalizer) as Jeremy.
What’s Jason Statham Making Next?
Statham’s biggest confirmed new project is The Beekeeper 2, where Statham returns as Adam Clay. It’s directed by Timo Tjahjanto instead of David Ayer, and it’s got a release date set for January 15, 2027. The cast also includes returning names like Jeremy Irons, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Bobby Naderi, and Jemma Redgrave, with Yara Shahidi, Pom Klementieff, and Adam Copeland joining the Hive. However, he is reuniting with Ayer for John Doe, an action thriller written by Zak Penn, with production being lined up to begin in September 2026.
However, the project we are most thrilled about? Statham is working with David Leitch on a film called Jason Statham Stole My Bike. The plot seems mysterious based on that title doesn’t it? Leitch, speaking to Collider’s Steve Weintraub, revealed the story, up to a point.
“No, he’s playing Jason Statham. He’s playing himself. I think that that’s what’s really interesting about it to me. I think it’s different than some of these other meta movies. We’re just really trying to capture something comedic and fun. Obviously, there are some referential things going on. There is a four-quadrant element to it. It’s fun, and it’s family, and it’s a chance for Jason and I to do something we’ve been wanting to do for a long time, and that’s, really, get together and make a story with a heart.”
