Jason Statham's Mutiny Roars Back With New Release Date After Delay

Jason Statham's next one-man-wrecking-crew movie, Mutiny, just moved again. Lionsgate has shifted it out of winter and into late summer. Translation: you are waiting a bit longer to watch Statham fight his way through a cargo ship.

So when is Mutiny actually coming out now?

Mutiny is now set for theaters on August 21, 2026. It was originally dated for January 9, 2026. Then, in August 2025, Lionsgate quietly pushed it to summer 2026 without a firm day. Now that day is locked. The January 9 slot did not stay empty, though — Greenland 2: Migration (the sequel to Gerard Butler's 2020 disaster thriller) is taking that winter date.

One more scheduling wrinkle: Mutiny now shares that August weekend with the untitled Insidious sequel. Different flavors of chaos, same release day.

What is Mutiny about?

Statham plays Cole Reed, a guy who watches his billionaire boss get murdered and then gets framed for it. He bolts, sneaks onto a cargo ship, and goes on a solo mission to clear his name and nail whoever did it — only to stumble into a much bigger, international mess. Sounds like classic Statham: closed quarters, high stakes, lots of improvised justice.

• Cast: Jason Statham, Annabelle Wallis, Roland Moller, Ramon Tikaram, Arnas Fedaravicius, Jason Wong, Adrian Lester
• Director: Jean-Francois Richet (his last one was Plane)
• Writers: Lindsay Michel and J.P. Davis
• Producers: Marc Butan and Jason Statham

Quick context check

Jean-Francois Richet last teamed with Gerard Butler on Plane, the January 2023 mid-budget actioner that did well for its size: $74 million worldwide on a $25 million budget. Fun detail: Butler is also headlining Greenland 2, the movie now sliding into Mutiny's old January slot. The overlap is accidental, but neat.

As for Statham, he has been on a tear. In 2024, he headlined The Beekeeper with David Ayer, playing Adam Clay, a former government assassin who comes out of retirement after a friend dies by suicide following a phishing scam. That one made $162 million worldwide and a sequel, The Beekeeper 2, is already filming.

In 2025, Statham and Ayer reunited for A Working Man, about a construction worker hunting the human traffickers who kidnapped his boss's daughter. It opened in March 2025 and pulled $98 million on a $40 million budget.

Before Mutiny arrives, Statham has Shelter lined up with director Ric Roman Waugh. That one lands January 30, 2026, which now makes Shelter his next stop before the cargo-ship crusade.

Bottom line: Mutiny takes the summer slot, Greenland 2 grabs the winter date, and Statham stays booked and loud. If you like him boxed into tight spaces and punching his way out, August 21, 2026 is your day.
