Jason Statham’s Trade with Levons Sets Him Up for Another Action Hit
Following the critical and commercial triumph of “The Beekeeper,” anticipation is building for Jason Statham’s upcoming action thriller, “Levon’s Trade.” Set for release on January 17, 2025, the film is generating excitement among fans and industry observers alike.
“The Beekeeper,” which grossed $152 million worldwide against a $40 million budget, has become Statham’s 13th highest-grossing film of 2024. More significantly, it achieved Statham’s best Rotten Tomatoes score since 2015, with audiences awarding it a 91% approval rating – the highest for a Statham movie in over a decade.
“Levon’s Trade” appears to be following a similar formula to “The Beekeeper,” with Statham playing Levon Cade, a former Special Forces operative drawn back into a world of violence. Based on Chuck Dixon’s 2014 novel, the film’s screenplay is penned by action icon Sylvester Stallone and features a star-studded cast including David Harbour, Jason Flemyng, and Michael Peña.
The plot revolves around Cade, who has left his violent past behind to raise his daughter and work in construction. When his boss’s daughter goes missing, Cade is pulled into a dangerous rescue mission that threatens to disrupt the quiet life he’s built and forces him to confront his lethal skills once again.
Adding to the excitement is the reunion of Statham with “The Beekeeper” director David Ayer. Known for his work on action films like “Birds of Prey,” “Fury,” and “End of Watch,” Ayer’s recent success with Statham bodes well for “Levon’s Trade.”
Industry insiders speculate that if “The Beekeeper 2” doesn’t materialize, “Levon’s Trade” could potentially evolve into Statham’s next big action franchise. Unlike “The Beekeeper,” which was an original concept, “Levon’s Trade” is based on the first of a series of novels, providing ample source material for future installments.
As fans eagerly await more details, “Levon’s Trade” is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated action films of 2025, promising to deliver the high-octane thrills and charismatic performances that have made Jason Statham a household name in the genre.
