Jason Statham‘s upcoming (and self-referential) action-comedy “Jason Statham Stole My Bike” has expanded its cast.
Eddie Peng, Daniel Ings and Artie Wilkison-Hunt have joined the feature, being directed by David Leitch and starring Statham and the recently-announced Hannah Waddingham. The film comes from from regular Statham collaborators Black Bear, alongside Leitch’s 87North, and was written by Alison Flierl, who created the story with Scott Chernoff.
While the plot of “Jason Statham Stole My Bike” is being kept under wraps, it’ll star Statham as a fictionalized version of himself, similar to Nicholas Cage in “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” and Jean-Claude Van Damme in “JCVD.”
Kelly McCormick and Leitch are producing for 87North alongside Statham for Punch Palace Productions, John Friedberg for Black Bear, and Meredith Berg and Ethan Erwin for Beryllium Entertainment. Fifth Season and Tango are executive producing. Black Bear will release the film in North America on Aug 6, 2027.
One of the most recognizable names in Chinese-language cinema, Peng starred in such titles as Guan Hu’s “Black Dog,” which earned extensive acclaim, including the Cannes Un Certain Regard award in 2024. He has collaborated with Asian auteurs including Zhang Yimou, Ann Hui, Dante Lam and Jiang Wen. Peng starred alongside Matt Damon in “The Great Wall” and will produce and star in the upcoming Chinese-language adaptation of “The Night Manager.”
