Jason Statham’s upcoming film Mutiny has now been given a release date, according to Deadline. Lionsgate has given the new action thriller an opening on January 9, 2026. That weekend is currently not sporting competition from any other films, but it will be following up the opening week of Universal’s M3GAN spin-off Soulm8te, which could be its only formidable challenge at the box office after the popularity of the original M3GAN.

Lionsgate, MadRiver, and Punch Palace are teaming up to release the film in theaters. Lindsay Michel and J.P. Davis wrote the screenplay for Mutiny, with principal photography beginning last September in the UK. Statham produces through his newly-founded Punch Palace Productions, with Marc Butan via his MadRiver Pictures studio.

The Beekeeper star Jason Statham continues to fly the flag for wonderfully no-nonsense action movie fare, and his next movie, the Jean-François Richet directed Mutiny, has now been given a release date. Sadly, it’s going to be a little while before we catch The Stath’s next violent vendetta.

As per a report by Deadline, Mutiny will land in theaters next year on January 9, 2026, with Lionsgate putting Statham’s latest action thriller up against Universal’s M3GAN spin-off Soulm8te, which releases the week before on January 2. Other than that, the path is clear for Mutiny to make a killing at the box office on its opening weekend.

Mutiny sees Statham in the role as both star and producer as he joins forces with the director behind 2023’s Gerard Butler-led Plane, Jean-François Richet, with the action outing finding The Mechanic star on the run while uncovering a major global conspiracy.

Jason Statham will be back on the big screen next year, as Lionsgate has dated the actor's next action film, Mutiny, for an early 2026 release.

Per Deadline, Statham's Mutiny will premiere in movie theaters on Jan. 9, 2026. An action thriller movie, Mutiny will follow the release of the M3GAN offshoot, Soulm8te, which will hit theaters one week prior. As of now, no other major release are scheduled for Jan. 9, but the next week will also see two anticipated sequels dropping: Barbarian director Zach Creggers' Weapons and Nia DaCosta's 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which will follow this year's 28 Years Later.

His steely gaze, gravelly wit, and high-octane stunts vaulted him into action stardom in the 00s, which were his top films?

Mutiny wrapped up production late last year. The film is directed by Jean-François Richet with a screenplay by Lindsay Michel and J.P. Davis.

Lionsgate announced today that Mutiny, its action thriller produced by and starring Jason Statham, will be released on January 9, 2026.

Set to unspool the week after Universal’s M3GAN spin-off Soulm8te, Mutiny‘s opening weekend is currently unoccupied by other titles. Directed by Jean-François Richet (Plane), the film follows Cole Reed (Statham), who after seeing his billionaire industrialist boss murdered in front of him, is set up to take the fall for the crime — leaving him on the run as he works to uncover an international conspiracy.

Also starring Annabelle Wallis and Roland Møller, the film is written by Lindsay Michel and J.P. Davis. Statham produced alongside Marc Butan.

Coming off the release of Mel Gibson’s action thriller Flight Risk, Lionsgate is next set to unveil family drama The Unbreakable Boy on February 21. Other notable titles coming up for release through the studio include Freaky Tales (April 4) and Hurry Up Tomorrow...

2024 was a massively successful year for horror movies, especially those from independent studios. With notable titles like A24's Heretic and a wide selection from Neon, including Longlegs, Cuckoo and Immaculate, the horror field saw an increase in audience reception. Looking toward the cinematic lineup in 2025, it's clear that the refreshing wave of new horror films is only growing.

Whether it's expanding franchises with anticipated, blood-curdling sequels or fresh takes on pre-established horror stories, 2025 contains a diversity of works that will have audiences squealing with joy and fear. If this year's releases are anywhere near replicative of last year's, long-time horror fans and apprehensive newcomers are in for a truly terrifying year.

The dancing doll of death is back! Two years after we first met M3GAN, Blumhouse's murderously loyal emotional support android with killer moves in every way, Gerard Johnstone and Akela Cooper are bringing her back for more exquisitely choreographed carnage as Chucky's heir apparent gets ready to go to war with an Ivanna Sakhno shaped android adversary. But before we get stuck into that, check out M3GAN throwing some shapes to Chappell Roan's 'Femininomenon' in the first teaser trailer for Megan 2.0:

"Miss me?" asks Amie Donald's Jenna Davis voiced bot in the new M3GAN 2.0 spot, released during this past weekend's Grammys. We'll say! And while this first look at her big comeback tells us very little about what the movie has in store, the newly released plot synopsis for the film actually gives us a lot of eyebrow raising new information. Now, we won't...

M3GAN 2.0 is hitting theaters this June 27th, and the horror world is buzzing. The original M3GAN, released in 2022, became an instant sensation, transforming from a humble $12 million production into a global phenomenon grossing over $180 million. This sequel is poised to be a pivotal moment for the killer doll, determining whether she solidifies her place as a true horror icon.

M3GAN’s viral success wasn’t just about box office numbers. Her blend of chilling horror and campy humor resonated with audiences, making her a household name. Many compared M3GAN favorably to the 2019 Child’s Play reboot, suggesting that M3GAN achieved what that film failed to: a compelling and terrifying killer doll narrative. M3GAN’s popularity even sparked a hilarious Twitter feud with Chucky, with even Cocaine Bear joining the online fray.

Interestingly, M3GAN’s initial R-18 rating was softened after her dance moves went viral on TikTok and other social media platforms.

M3GAN is back for more AI doll horror.

Blumhouse has revealed the first look at “M3GAN 2.0,” the sequel to the surprise horror hit from 2023 that introduced the world to the dancing, murdering robot M3GAN. In the short teaser that debuted during the Grammys, the killer doll showed off some new dance moves while dancing to Chappell Roan’s “Femininomenon.” The spot premiered shortly after Roan took the stage during the award show to perform “Pink Pony Club.”

The first “M3GAN,” which stands for Model 3 Generative Android, follows a young girl named Cady (Violet McGraw), who loses her parents in a car accident and is raised by her roboticist aunt Gemma (Allison Williams). Gemma has been working on an experimental, child-sized robot designed to be the ultimate companion for kids. Unsurprisingly, the AI robot turns dangerous and kills anything that she deems a threat to Cady. Gemma and...

Universal and Blumhouse brought a big surprise to the Grammys tonight, debuting the first official teaser for M3GAN 2.0, which is slaying its way into theaters on June 27, 2025.

The murderous doll who captivated pop culture in 2023 is back.

And this time she’s not alone….

The original creative team behind that phenomenon—led by horror titans James Wan for Atomic Monster, Jason Blum for Blumhouse and director Gerard Johnstone—reboot an all-new wild chapter in A.I. mayhem with M3GAN 2.0.

“Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.

“Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M...

The question comes up whenever we publish this list: Why only studio movies? Isn’t this IndieWire?

But here’s the thinking: For most moviegoers and for many filmmakers, helming a studio-backed film is the pinnacle of a career, or at least the pinnacle of visibility. Getting the chance to helm a studio feature is, of course, not the golden ticket for any director. It’s not the end-all, be-all. It may not even be a goal for many filmmakers.

By looking at this portion of the release calendar (and all the box office bucks that come with it), we can get a sense of who Hollywood is letting into its most rarefied spaces. And that matters.

As we’ve too often discovered in the making of this list, that landscape isn’t really changing. While the most recent USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative study does not quite show a decline in inclusion,...

Spinning off from the horror film M3GAN, a brand-new technological terror is in the works entitled SOULM8TE, and there are already exciting details, including a release date. 2022's M3GAN brought the fear of modern technology to the forefront as it told the story of an AI-powered doll that was developed to help children cope with the loneliness and loss. Naturally, the titular doll goes haywire and uses circular logic to justify destroying anyone and anything that gets between her and her primary objective. M3GAN's unique brand of tech-hysteria is incredibly prescient, and SOULM8TE will continue that trend.

It didn't take long for M3GAN 2.0 to get a green light, and the franchise is already expanding further with the new spinoff. SOULM8TE is a natural continuation of the ideas explored in M3GAN, but will instead focus on the loneliness of adulthood as opposed to the innocence seen in its predecessor.

Nia DaCosta’s follow-up to Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later – The Bone Temple – will arrive just seven months later, it’s been confirmed.

When the trailer dropped last week for Danny Boyle’s upcoming horror sequel, 28 Years Later, it caused quite a stir, amassing a huge amount of views in a very short space of time. In a kind of grotesque magic eye experiment, it also sparked a viral movement that had half of the world squinting to see if they’d spotted Cillian Murphy’s character returning as a zombie. (Spoiler: they hadn’t.)

Anticipation for this film – which has been shot on iPhones – is clearly very high with the belated return of a beloved British-set horror series clearly having hit the mark with audiences so far. As you likely know, 28 Years Later will end the original 28 trilogy while also kicking off a set of...

M3GAN's box office success greenlighted M3GAN 2.0 and its spinoff. Director Gerard Johnstone teased bigger plans for the franchise after the sequel.

Director Gerard Johnstone imagined how a M3GAN doll would fare in a crossover universe. He revealed an early pitch for M3GAN 2.0 involved a post-apocalyptic environment. "Just jokingly, whenever the producers asked me what I think about a sequel, I've always said M3GAN 3000," he told Entertainment Weekly. "M3GAN in a Mad Max universe. I would absolutely line up to see that." New photos reveal a more grounded story for M3GAN 2.0, but there's a hint the franchise will become darker and more dystopian: the spinoff SOULM8TE will be an erotic thriller about a sex robot gone rogue.

'M3GAN' star Allison Williams wants the horror franchise to "keep going" with more sequels and spin-offs.The scary flick – which follows the murderous robot doll M3GAN – will be expanded on with its sequel 'M3GAN 2.0', and the 36-year-old actress has said she's happy to keep coming back to the franchise so long as the stories are "interesting".Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Williams said: "Let's just keep going as long as they're interesting and each one has its own story to tell."As well as 'M3GAN 2.0' – which is slated to hit cinemas next year – the series is due to receive its first spin-off 'SOULM8TE', and Williams joked the series was slowly turning into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) thanks to its growing filmography.The actress – who is also serving as producer on 'M3GAN 2.0' – was asked what an Avengers-level threat...

M3GAN was a bigger hit than expected in 2022 and Blumhouse is acting quickly to capitalise on the movie's box office success. Along with a sequel about the killer doll titled M3GAN 2.0, an erotic-thriller spin-off, SOULM8TE, is also in the works.

So, you could call it an all-new MCU (M3GAN Cinematic Universe). "I am terrified to imagine what that would mean. What is the Thanos equivalent?" star Allison Williams tells Entertainment Weekly (via FearHQ.com). "Let's just keep going as long as they're interesting and each one has its own story to tell."

While plot details are being kept a secret ahead of the sequel's release in theaters next year, director Gerard Johnstone teases, "I had actually a different idea for the ending of M3GAN, which would've been interesting but probably not as satisfying. The good thing about doing a sequel is I got the chance to expand on that idea into a longer narrative.

In 2023, M3GAN was an immediate hit for Blumhouse and Universal, as the story about an AI doll that became self-aware struck a chord with viewers and critics, who universally praised the movie for delivering something fresh to the horror genre. Earning more than $180 million at the box office, a sequel seemed inevitable, but what fans didn’t expect to get was a spin-off, which is why the news of SOULM8TE came as a surprise to many. Now, the creators of the new film are teasing what we can expect when it hits theaters in 2026.

Not much is known about SOULM8TE at this point, other than it will star Evil Dead Rise’s Lily Sullivan, as well as Oppenheimer’s David Rysdahl and The Boys’ Claudia Doumit. Plot details are thin, but it’s at least been confirmed that the movie will center around a man who acquires an android to...

We’re still six months out from M3GAN 2.0, but fans just got a taste of what they can expect from the "ambitious" horror sequel thanks to some first-look images that were just released. Debuting in Jan. 2023, M3GAN was a smash hit for Blumhouse and Universal Pictures, as the tale about an AI doll that becomes self-aware generated more than $180 million at the box office against a budget of $12 million. As such, fans don’t only have the sequel to look forward to, but a spin-off titled SOULM8TE as well.

Per Entertainment Weekly, the first-look images (seen below) show not only the return of Amie Donald as the titular character, but Violet McGraw’s Cady, who you’ll recall brought M3GAN’s reign of terror to an end by stabbing her through the processing chip embedded in the doll’s head. Director Gerard Johnstone will return to helm the sequel,...

We just got our first look at M3GAN 2.0! Returning director Gerard Johnstone shared his thoughts on the sequel, saying, “It’s very ambitious. I felt the story needed to be bigger, with more scale and scope, but it’s still a tiny budget compared to Marvel movies.“

The first M3GAN movie was a massive hit, earning over $181 million worldwide on just a $12 million budget. Critics praised its mix of horror and humor, and Deadline Hollywood estimated the film’s net profit at $78.8 million after expenses and revenues.

Universal loved the success and announced a sequel in 2022. By 2023, M3GAN 2.0 was officially confirmed, with Akela Cooper writing the script and Allison Williams and Violet McGraw returning. The release date was moved from January 2025 to June 27, 2025.

While we wait for the trailer, we know Williams and McGraw are back, along with horror legends James Wan and Jason Blum producing. New cast members include Timm Sharp,...

We just got a first glimpse at M3GAN 2.0. Returning director Gerard Johnstone hinted at the bigger scale of the sequel, saying, “It is very ambitious. I felt that the story should be bigger and increase in scale and scope, but it’s still a minuscule budget [compared to] the Marvel movie scale.”

The first film grossed over $181 million worldwide against a budget of $12 million and received positive reviews from critics, who liked its campy blend of horror and humor. Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $78.8 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues.

Universal was happy with M3GAN and decided to make a sequel in 2022. In 2023, M3GAN 2.0 was confirmed, with Akela Cooper writing and Allison Williams and Violet McGraw returning. The release date was changed from January 2025 to June 27, 2025.

Blumhouse Productions has created a name for itself in the movie industry by releasing high-quality, popular horror films. Unfortunately, 2024 came with a mixed offering and one title set an unfortunate event that seems to change thanks to streaming.

Blumhouse premiered several horror titles in 2024, including the critically acclaimed remake Speak No Evil, with an 83% approval rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but also Imaginary, with an unfortunate 24% approval score, and Afraid, which has a 22% score from the critics. Afraid set a series of unfortunate records for Blumhouse, but it proved to be a success on streaming following its release on Netflix. Now, its success continues, as Afraid ended its first week on the streaming platform in the tenth spot in the U.S. for the week between Nov. 26 and Dec. 1, according to Netflix.

With over a billion dollars in box office receipts, the Saw franchise is undoubtedly one of the most successful horror sagas in history. 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the groundbreaking original that was directed by James Wan, and while hes yet to helm another entry in the series since, hes remained involved behind the scenes as en executive producer.
