Jason Statham is currently seeing renewed attention thanks to a surge in popularity for his 2014 action movie, The Expendables 3, on streaming services. This comes despite his more recent film, Shelter, not performing well in theaters earlier this year, according to Collider.
In The Expendables 3, Jason Statham stars as Lee Christmas, a highly trained member of a team on a mission for revenge. The film boasts a famous cast including Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, and Wesley Snipes. Written by Stallone and directed by Patrick Hughes, the movie has become a popular choice for viewers renting or buying it digitally. In the U.S., it’s available for streaming on MovieSphere, and it’s widely accessible around the world.
The film is also known for a frightening incident that happened during production. Jason Statham was driving a truck as part of a stunt over the Black Sea when the brakes stopped working. He fell over 50 feet into the water, but thankfully, his excellent physical condition and training allowed him to survive. Statham later said he owed his escape from the dangerous situation to his fitness level.
Jason Statham has a busy schedule ahead. Once his current film, Shelter, finishes its run in cinemas, he’ll star in the action thriller Mutiny, which will be released in August. He’s also planned to reprise his role in The Beekeeper 2 in 2027, following the success of the first film in 2024. Plus, he’s joining director David Leitch for a new blockbuster called Jason Statham Stole My Bike, where he’ll play a version of himself.
Even though some of his recent movies haven’t done as well in theaters, Jason Statham is still a reliable and daring action star. The recent success of The Expendables 3 proves that people still enjoy the franchise’s exciting stunts and team-based action.
