David Leitch and Jason Statham Team Up for 2027 Action-Comedy

Black Bear has officially scheduled the theatrical release of the upcoming action-comedy *Jason Statham Stole My Bike* for August 6, 2027. Directed by David Leitch, the project has just entered principal photography. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the film is expected to feature a comedic performance from Statham that mirrors his well-received turn as a CIA field agent in the 2015 hit *Spy*.

The collaboration brings together two heavyweights of the action genre: Leitch, the director behind *The Fall Guy*, and Statham, whose filmography has collectively grossed over $8 billion globally. The script is penned by Alison Flierl, known for her work on *BoJack Horseman*, with production duties handled by Leitch and Kelly McCormick’s 87North banner alongside Statham’s Punch Palace Productions and Black Bear.

This project marks a significant expansion of Statham’s ongoing partnership with Black Bear, following his work on the upcoming *Viva La Madness*. For the industry, the long-lead scheduling of this film highlights the strategic planning currently employed by production houses like Black Bear to secure prime late-summer release windows. As Statham continues to balance high-octane franchises like *The Beekeeper* and *Fast & Furious* with character-driven comedic roles, this film serves as a key indicator of his continued box office viability and his interest in diversifying his portfolio beyond traditional action fare.
