The Beekeeper returns for a sequel along Jason Statham
Miramax is set to reunite with Jason Statham for The Beekeeper 2, the follow-up to the studio's 2024 global success, which earned $152.7 million worldwide. The sequel will be helmed by Timo Tjahjanto, known for his work on the Nobody 2 and acclaimed Indonesian action films like The Night Comes for Us. The screenplay for The Beekeeper 2 will be written by Kurt Wimmer, with cameras expected to roll this fall. The first Beekeeper film, directed by David Ayer, followed a retired intelligence operative seeking revenge after his kind-hearted landlady became the victim of a phishing scam that stole millions of dollars from her charity. While Ayer is focused on his current project, The Heart of the Beast, a film starring Brad Pitt, the filmmakers are looking to bring him back in a producing role for the sequel. Amazon/MGM Studios, which handled the domestic release of the first film, is reportedly in talks to take the reins on the sequel, following the success of the original release during a challenging box office period impacted by strikes. Tjahjanto's Nobody 2, also produced by Miramax, will feature Bob Odenkirk reprising his role and is set to release on August 15 through Universal. Additionally, Statham will return as a producer via his Punch Palace Productions, alongside Chris Long through Long Shot Productions. Miramax continues to strengthen its portfolio with upcoming films, including the new Scary Movie with the Wayans Brothers and Roofman starring Channing Tatum.
