Jason Statham is set to star in a new action film for Netflix titled Dogfight, continuing his long-standing creative partnership with director Guy Ritchie. This project represents the seventh collaboration between the actor and the filmmaker, a relationship that began with their 1998 debut together on Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
According to Netflix, Dogfight will be an action-packed revenge thriller featuring a stylish twist. The story is set in London, where Statham will delve into the city's criminal underworld. While specific details regarding his character remain unconfirmed, industry expectations suggest he may portray an ex-soldier or police officer seeking vengeance, a narrative formula familiar to his recent filmography.
The production is currently in its early stages, with filming officially scheduled to commence in the United Kingdom in 2027. Due to the timeline required for shooting and post-production, the film is not expected to premiere on the streaming platform until 2028. Netflix has not yet announced an official release date, but the project is anticipated to be a significant addition to their catalog in the coming years.
