Jason Statham plays himself in Berlin market hot property 'Jason Statham Stole My Bike'

Hollywood actor Jason Statham will portray himself in the upcoming film 'Jason Statham Stole My Bike'. The upcoming action-comedy is helmed by David Leitch, who is known for 'The Fall Guy', 'Deadpool 2' and 'Bullet Train'.

The film will star Jason "in the role of a lifetime, playing global action superstar Jason Statham", reports Female First UK.

While the script from 'BoJack Horseman' and 'School Of Rock TV' series writer Alison Flierl is being kept under wraps, the big budget comedy will start shooting in May.

While Statham, 58, is renowned for his action franchises including 'The Meg' and 'Fast Furious', he has also shown his comedy skills in 'Spy', 'Snatch', 'Lock Stock Two Smoking Barrels' and 'Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre'.

'Jason Statham Stole My Bike' is set to make use of both sets of skills. The movie, which is being compared to 1999 movie Being John Malkovich, is currently being shopped around at the European Film Market in Berlin.

Meanwhile, 'Shelter' director Ric Roman Waugh recently revealed he wanted to show a "different side" to Jason Statham in the new movie, in which Statham plays reclusive former government assassin Michael Mason.

Speaking with Collider, Ric Roman Waugh said, "When we did Snitch with Dwayne Johnson, that was a learning lesson for me because I'm really proud of that movie, and I think a lot of people really dug it. But again, it maybe took him a little bit further out of his wheelhouse than people wanted at that time".

He further mentioned, "So, there's this needle that you're trying to thread, where you're trying to make sure you're protecting the commerciality of a big movie star, especially like Jason Statham, and what fans are going to expect from him. A lot of the time, what people don't see is that that's the material that he's normally going to get. You get what you're known for".

The former stuntman added, "When I was coming out of stunts, I got everything that was bigger, faster, and more expensive".Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
