The Beekeeper 2: First Trailer for the Action Sequel Starring Jason Statham!
The Beekeeper Is Back: Here's What to Expect from Part 2
Just this summer, Jason Statham released a new movie, "Mutiny," in theaters—but the action star apparently has no plans to take a break. "The Beekeeper 2" is coming soon! What awaits Adam Clay in the sequel? The first trailer now offers a glimpse of what's to come...
The trailer quickly makes the film's premise clear: Jason Statham is once again taking on everyone! As expected, we see the actor right where he belongs – in the middle of the action. But see for yourself! You can watch the trailer here:
The Cast
Alongside Jason Statham, acting icon Jeremy Irons is back as Wallace Westwyld. Emmy Raver-Lampman also returns as FBI Agent Verona Parker for the sequel. Another returning cast member is her partner, Agent Matt Wiley, played by Bobby Naderi. Another familiar face is Jemma Redgrave as U.S. President Jessica Danforth.
New additions to the cast include Pom Klementieff, known for her roles in the MCU and the "Mission: Impossible" franchise. Also on board is Yara Shahidi, who appeared in the film adaptation of the novel "The Sun Is Also a Star," among other projects. And wrestler and actor Adam Copeland is also part of the cast.
A New Director
There's a change in the director's chair for the sequel. While David Ayer directed the first installment, Timo Tjahjanto is now taking the helm. The Indonesian filmmaker made a name for himself primarily with his uncompromising action film "The Night Comes for Us." Most recently, he directed "Nobody 2" starring Bob Odenkirk. Tjahjanto therefore brings plenty of experience in the action genre to the sequel.
The release date for The Beekeeper 2
Jason Statham seems to still enjoy the action movies he's known for—and is following up one after another without much of a break. As recently as 2026, he brought two classic Statham films to theaters: "Shelter" and "Mutiny." Now, "The Beekeeper 2" is set to follow in early 2027. The action sequel will hit the big screen on January 15.
The Beekeeper: What Happens in the First Movie
"The Beekeeper," directed by David Ayer, was released in theaters in 2024. In it, Jason Statham took on the role of the reclusive Adam Clay for the first time. His peaceful life as a beekeeper comes to an abrupt end when a devious phone scam drives someone close to him to their death. Determined to bring those responsible to justice, Clay takes on a far-reaching criminal network—using his extraordinary skills as a former agent of a secret organization. What begins as a personal vendetta evolves into a relentless campaign against powerful adversaries. You can watch the trailer for the first movie here:
Action Hero Jason Statham
Jason Statham has been one of the defining faces of modern action cinema for years. The British actor made his big breakthrough in the genre with "The Transporter," followed later by the "Crank" films, "The Expendables," and the "Fast & Furious" franchise, among others. He also starred in "The Italian Job" and "The Meg." His more recent action films include "The Beekeeper", "A Working Man," and Guy Ritchie's "Operation Fortune." Statham had previously worked with Ritchie early in his career. "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" were the actor's first roles.
But what's next for Statham after "The Beekeeper 2"? The action star is planning the film "John Doe" with David Ayer. You can find out more about it here. And next up with Guy Ritchie is the film "Viva La Madness," which you can read about here. Both movies are currently expected to be released in 2028. Statham fans can therefore rest assured: There is plenty more action on the way!
