Jason Statham is still one of the biggest action stars in Hollywood, and he’s back to showcase his butt-kicking ability with the 2025 new movie A Working Man. The movie serves as not only a reunion with his director for the 2024 action movie The Beekeeper, but is a collaboration with former co-star Sylvester Stallone.
Stallone and Statham starred together in The Expendables franchise. While Stallone is not expected to show up in A Working Man, he is involved in the project as a co-writer of the script and a producer (if you want to see Stallone on screen this year, he stars in another action movie, Alarum).
