Set to hit theaters on August 21, 2026, Mutiny follows Cole Reed (Statham), a former Special Forces operative and NYPD officer who is framed for the murder of his billionaire industrialist boss.

Following the massive global success of the first film, Statham will return as the enigmatic Adam Clay for a high-octane sequel. While original director David Ayer has passed the baton to Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us), the sequel is expected to maintain the first film’s unique blend of “hive-themed” lore and brutal, creative choreography. The story will likely delve deeper into the secret organization of “Beekeepers” while pitting Clay against a new set of corrupt powerful figures.

Statham is officially set to reprise his fan-favorite role as Deckard Shaw in the final installment of the Fast & Furious main saga. Though production schedules have shifted, the film is aiming for a release in late 2026 or 2027 to serve as a grand finale for the billion-dollar franchise. Early reports suggest this chapter will move away from over-the-top tech and return to the franchise’s street-racing roots, featuring a major team-up between Shaw and Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs.
