I don’t think people would have guessed that Jason Statham and director David yesterday would already resume on 2025 movie schedule. As last year saw Beekeeper’s growing fandom Lending the film a bit of a reputation as an underground favorite, you’d think we’d only get word that the pair are working on another project together.
Well, we got some news, as well as a trailer and a release date for the upcoming film A working man. And yes, The Statham will now become best friends with Violent night star David Harborwhich only adds to the hype. Seemingly out of nowhere, Amazon MGM Studios released the first trailer for what looks like pure Statham/Ayer joy-fest, introducing us to our new hero Levon Cade (Statham.)
Cade, a widower and retired Royal Marine, seems to have found a new family at his construction job. Of course, his particular set of skills is always waiting for an excuse to come out and play; and the kidnapping of his boss’s daughter is the match that lights A working man fuse. Of course, if a Taken-Revenge’s rampage is on, which means a hero like Jason Statham’s latest is going to need some friends.
Enter the man known as “Gunny” (David Harbour), an old pal and retired soldier who equips Mr. Cade with some pretty neat toys. Using his usual attitude and authority in the role of a blind war vet Suicide squad co-star comes out as a version of Q … if he had served in the field. Seriously, I’m shocked the bluetooth scope hasn’t made it into one James Bond movie yet.
I’m afraid we won’t see much of A working man Gunny in the finished film, which sucks because in the limited scenes that showcase David Harbour’s performance, I really dig his presence. I mean, this is a David Ayer film, and there’s always room for a more colorful, over the top kill to spice things up.
If this action-packed free-for-all hits theaters, we might see these characters reunite in a potential sequel. Or maybe David Ayer gets the boys back together for a new project entirely. As long as David Harbour’s latest Violent Night 2 tease not affected in any way, I’ll gladly take it!
A working man starts working at the cinema on March 28, so you have time to prepare. Which means if you haven’t seen The beekeeper for yourself, you can currently stream that movie through access to a Prime Video subscription. Where it ranks on the list of best Jason Statham movies is up to you.
