Like Ray Liotta, Jason Statham has a certain reputation. He plays a screaming tough guy in each of the following critically acclaimed films: Snatch, Magic, and The Transporter. Jason Statham also carries this energy throughout the Expendables franchise. Here he is joined by other Hollywood celebrities such as Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis.
The third part of the saga “The Expendables” was released back in 2014. This means fans are more than eager for the next chapter. Director Scott Waugh has already filmed The Expendables 4. And what’s more, Jason Statham showed an epic first look at the job. Jason Statham called his “The Expendables” co-star “a powerhouse of speed and skill.”
Here is a black and white photoshoot shared by Jason Statham from the filming of the upcoming The Expendables 4.
The release date will be September 22, 2023. The photoset features blood, bruises, weapons, and an impressive display of martial arts. But who is Jason Statham’s rival in The Expendables 4?
The caption on his Instagram post informs fans that Statham’s Lee Christmas is fighting the villain Iko. In addition, Jason considers it a great honor to work with Iko. Statham calls the accomplished martial artist “a true master of his craft, with speed and skills that take a lifetime to achieve.”
