Beekeeper sequel confirmed for 2027
Statham’s franchise‑building strategy includes a sequel to the 2023 hit Beekeeper, slated for release in 2027. The report indicates production will begin after Mutiny wraps , giving the team ample time for script development and stunt choreography .
Jason Statham Stole My Bike set for Aug 6, 2027
