Hannah Waddingham Joins David Leitch’s Jason Statham Stole My Bike

Her casting ties together Leitch and Statham for a PG-13, self‑referential action comedy scheduled for North American release on August 6, 2027.

Overview

  • Deadline confirmed Wednesday that Hannah Waddingham will star opposite Jason Statham in David Leitch’s film Jason Statham Stole My Bike.
  • Principal photography began in June in the U.K. and Malta and is currently underway.
  • Alison Flierl is credited as screenwriter with a story by Flierl and Scott Chernoff, and producers include David Leitch, Kelly McCormick, Jason Statham, John Friedberg, Meredith Berg and Ethan Erwin with Black Bear and 87North backing the project.
  • Reports describe the movie as a tongue‑in‑cheek, PG‑13 action comedy built around multiple large set pieces and one outlet has reported an unverified budget north of $80 million.
  • The hire reunites Waddingham with Leitch and continues Leitch’s work with Statham, and the film’s Aug. 6, 2027 release means the next milestones to watch are further casting, finished photography and official budget or marketing details.
