I don’t suppose folks would have guessed that Jason Statham and director David Ayer would already be reteaming on the 2025 film schedule. As final 12 months noticed The Beekeeper’s rising fandom lending the movie a little bit of a repute as an underground favourite, you’d suppose we’d simply be getting the announcement that the pair are engaged on one other undertaking collectively.
Effectively we did get some information, in addition to a trailer and a launch date for the upcoming movie A Working Man. And sure, The Statham is now going to get to be greatest friends with Violent Evening star David Harbour, which solely will increase the hype. Seemingly out of nowhere Amazon MGM Studios dropped the primary trailer for what appears like a pure Statham/Ayer pleasure fest, which introduces us to our new hero Levon Cade (Statham.)
A widower and retired Royal Marine, Cade appears to have discovered a brand new household at his building job. After all, his specific set of expertise are all the time ready for an excuse to return out and play; and the kidnapping of his boss’ daughter is the match that lights A Working Man’s fuse. Naturally, if a Taken-style rampage of vengeance is in play, which means a hero like Jason Statham’s newest goes to wish some buddies.
Enter the person referred to as “Gunny” (David Harbour), an previous buddy and fellow retired soldier who outfits Mr. Cade with some fairly neat toys. Utilizing his traditional perspective and authority within the function of a blind warfare vet, the Suicide Squad co-star comes off as a model of Q…if he had served within the area. Significantly, I’m shocked the Bluetooth scope hasn’t made it right into a James Bond film but.
I’m afraid that we’re not going to see a lot of A Working Man’s Gunny within the completed movie, which sucks as a result of within the restricted scenes displaying off David Harbour’s efficiency, I’m actually digging his presence. I imply, this is a David Ayer film, and there’s all the time room for yet another colourful, excessive kill to spice issues up.
Maybe if this motion packed free-for-all is a hit on the films, we’ll get to see these characters reunite in a possible sequel. Or perhaps David Ayer will get the boys again collectively for one more undertaking altogether. As long as David Harbour’s latest Violent Evening 2 tease isn’t impacted in any method, I’ll gladly take it!
A Working Man will get to work in theaters on March twenty eighth, so that you’ve bought time to organize. Which implies that should you haven’t seen The Beekeeper for your self, you’ll be able to presently stream that film by way of entry to a Prime Video subscription. The place it lands on the listing of greatest Jason Statham movies can be as much as you.
