10 New Movies & Series Starring Jason Statham

Written by Gerryaldo

To excel as an action film star, a diverse set of skills, particularly in martial arts, is essential. Jason Statham, a master in Wing Chun Kung Fu, Karate, and Kickboxing, has leveraged these talents to ascend in the film industry. His proficiency in a range of martial arts has been a significant factor in his rise to fame since his debut.

Statham has carved out a niche for himself in both Hollywood and European cinema. He is particularly noted for his collaborations with Luc Besson in a series of films. Here, we present a carefully curated list of the best films featuring Jason Statham.

Jason Statham stars as Adam Clay, a beekeeper whose quiet life is shattered when his neighbor, Eloise Parker, takes her own life. Eloise had been tricked by an online scam that stole all her money, leading her to deep despair. Adam is unable to ignore her tragic end and then decides to seek justice for Eloise.

At first, we're left guessing how Adam, a seemingly simple beekeeper, would confront the scammer. But then, we see his extraordinary skills when he single-handedly destroys the building where the scammers operate. It's then revealed that Adam is far from ordinary.

Adam was once a member of a secret group called The Beekeepers, dedicated to maintaining global order. His mission to avenge Eloise leads him into a tangled web of deceit, as he discovers the online scam is part of a much larger, sinister conspiracy.

"Expend4bles" marks the fourth installment in the popular Expendables franchise. This action-packed movie reunites iconic actors such as Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, and Indonesian star Iko Uwais.

In this installment, Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) leads The Expendables to Libya to stop a group of criminals led by Suarto Rahmat (Iko Uwais). Suarto steals a nuclear warhead to give to a mysterious terrorist named Ocelot, who plans to start World War III for profit.

During the mission against Suarto, Barney, the team leader, is killed. Now, how will the mission to capture Suarto and Ocelot continue without him?

Unfortunately, despite nine years of anticipation, "Expend4bles" is considered a letdown. Even fans of the series agree. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a score of under 20%, making it the lowest-rated Expendables movie.


Continuing the story from the first movie, the Zhang family's marine institution, Mana One, is still exploring the deep sea. They want to study the living systems in the Mariana trench. This requires Jonas (Jason Statham) to return as the leader of the exploration team.

However, the mission faces challenges once again. This time, the team discovers an illegal mining operation that is destroying the marine environment. The miners use explosives, causing severe damage to the thermocline layer, which normally separates the Mariana Trench from the open ocean.

Unfortunately, the destruction of the thermocline has allowed ancient sea creatures that should have stayed under the thermocline to escape into the open ocean. The creatures begin to chase Jonas' team, also leading to an ocean resort full of visitors.

What started as an exploration mission quickly turns into a chaotic rescue operation as Jonas and his team must now save the resort's visitors before they are crushed by ancient sea creatures such as krakens (giant octopuses with sharp fangs), amphibious dinosaurs and, of course, Megalodons.

Eleven years ago, Dom and Brian successfully completed a mission to steal the fortune of the infamous drug lord Hernán Reyes. However, during the operation, Hernán was killed. Now, Hernán's son, Dante Reyes, seeks revenge for his father's death by targeting Dom and everyone else involved.

Jason Statham returns as Deckard Shaw, who receives a mysterious package midway through the film. The package contains a video message from Dante, revealing Shaw's past actions against Hernán.

Dante's message makes it clear that Shaw is now on his hit list. In response, Shaw prepares himself to confront this new and dangerous threat.

Initially reluctant, as he was planning to enjoy his vacation, Fortune is compelled to take on the mission due to its urgent nature. Not alone, he teams up with his trusted colleagues, Sarah Fidel and J.J. Davies. Together, they strategize to get the device out of Greg's hands.

Jason Statham continues to fascinate fans with his charismatic performances, and one of his most famous movies is "Wrath of Man". The movie tells the story of a father who takes revenge after his son is killed by a gang of thieves.

Mason Hargreaves (Jason Statham) is an ex-criminal whose life takes a tragic turn when his son is shot during a robbery. Fueled by anger, Mason leaves his past as a criminal behind and embarks on a mission to track down his son's killer, who surprisingly works for a security company called Fortico Security.

Imagine if a monstrous prehistoric creature, once at the top of the food chain, suddenly woke up and began terrorizing the modern world. This is the thrilling premise of Jon Turteltaub's movie "The Meg."

The film, with its focus on sharks, might remind you of classics like "Jaws" (1975), "Deep Blue Sea" (1999), and "47 Meters Down" (2017).

The plot kicks off with a deep-sea research venture funded by billionaire Dr. Zhang (Winston Chao), aiming to explore the depths of the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean. The project attracts various experts, including skilled diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham).

During their expedition into the trench, something happened. The thermocline layer, which divides cold and warm ocean waters, is disturbed, unleashing a gigantic, ancient Megalodon. Now, it's up to Jonas and his team to stop this massive shark from causing further chaos and danger. They embark on a mission to capture and eliminate the Megalodon before it can cause any more harm.

Featuring many popular actors and actresses, including Jason Statham, The Fate of the Furious follows the lives of Dom and his crew as they are pulled into a series of major conflicts by their enemies.

Having decided to retire from the world of racing and dangerous missions, Dom and his team are looking forward to a peaceful life, spending time with friends and family. However, their hopes for a normal life are shattered when Dom is manipulated into returning to a life of crime.

This turn of events is driven by a cyber-terrorist named Cipher, who threatens the lives of Dom's ex-wife Elena and their son. Under Cipher's control, Dom is forced to betray his own team. Now, Letty and the rest of the crew must find a way to bring Dom back and defeat the powerful enemy who has turned him against them.

Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is a former hitman who recently decided to retire and enjoy a peaceful life in Brazil. Unfortunately, his past continues to haunt him, as a mysterious figure demands that Arthur complete three more assignments, threatening his life if he refuses.

Frustrated at being threatened, Arthur travels to Thailand to seek help from his close friend Mei (Michelle Yeoh). He asks Mei to help him uncover the identity of the person contacting him. Shortly after arriving, Arthur meets a woman named Gina (Jessica Alba), who shows up covered in bruises.

Upon investigation, Arthur finds out that Gina is a 'message' for him. If Arthur refuses to complete the tasks, Gina's life will be in danger. Left with no other option, Arthur agrees to take on the assignments to protect both Gina and himself.
