Jason Statham's A Working Man is proving that sometimes the best revenge is a late-night streaming binge. The action thriller, often compared to John Wick for its tale of a retired operative forced back into the game, has quietly become a global phenomenon on HBO Max. As of June 2026, the film is sitting pretty in the top 10 most-watched titles across more than 25 countries, making it a late-night favorite for subscribers worldwide.
Released in 2024, A Working Man follows Statham's character, a former high-level operative who left his violent past behind—only to be dragged back when his old life comes calling. Sound familiar? The parallels to the John Wick franchise are hard to miss: both films center on mythic figures who can't escape their lethal reputations. While it didn't match the box office might of Statham's The Beekeeper, A Working Man still pulled in a respectable $89 million globally against a $40 million budget. After a successful VOD run, it landed on Prime Video and Amazon MGM+, and now its HBO Max debut is cementing its status as a streaming sleeper hit.
This streaming success comes at a pivotal time for Statham. His 2026 started with a box office stumble when his first action movie of the year bombed, weighed down by a $50 million budget. But the actor is gearing up for a redemption arc with Mutiny, an action thriller hitting theaters on August 21, 2026. Directed by Jean-François Richet (Plane), the film stars Statham as Cole Reed, a man framed for his billionaire boss's murder and forced to go on the run. If Mutiny delivers the same adrenaline as Richet's Plane, Statham fans are in for a treat.
Looking further ahead, Statham will reprise his role as Adam Clay in The Beekeeper 2, a direct sequel to the 2024 hit. However, director David Ayer won't be returning due to his commitment to Heart of the Beast, an action thriller starring Brad Pitt and J.K. Simmons. For now, fans can catch A Working Man on Prime Video or Amazon MGM+, and keep an eye on HBO Max for more Statham action.
