Overview
- Black Bear announced the project in early June 2026 and set a North American theatrical release date of August 6, 2027.
- David Leitch is confirmed to direct and Jason Statham is confirmed to star, with Alison Flierl credited as screenwriter and Scott Chernoff sharing story credit.
- Credits list Leitch and Kelly McCormick producing for 87North, Statham producing via Punch Palace, John Friedberg producing for Black Bear, Meredith Berg and Ethan Erwin producing for Beryllium Entertainment, and Fifth Season and Tango as executive producers.
- Outlets differ on current production status: several report principal photography has just begun while one reports photography is wrapping, and secondary sources have circulated an unverified roughly $80 million budget figure.
- The placement on the August 2027 summer slate follows Leitch’s recent action‑comedy work and continues Statham’s relationship with Black Bear, suggesting a self‑referential, high‑octane comic turn for the star without revealing plot details.
