Jason Statham and filmmaker David Ayer have reunited on A Working Man after the success of The Beekeeper, adding David Harbour to the mix.
The action movie starring the Hobbs & Shaw and Stranger Things stars have just released a trailer, giving fans a sneak peek at the unlikely duo.
As you can see at the top of this article, the clip kicks off with a bit of exposition from Statham’s Levon Cade, an ex-marine who’s pivoted to construction work after his wife’s death.
“You’re my family,” he tells his boss Garcia, played by MCU star Michael Peña.

Of course, Levon comes to the rescue when Garcia’s daughter Jenny (Arianna Rivas) goes missing after a night out, resorting to that “military shit” that seems to be his speciality.
Soon, he becomes embroiled in a human trafficking conspiracy in the city’s seedy underbelly, jumping at the chance to reply, “You wish I was a cop” to a thug asking him if he’s with the police.
Harbour plays Levon’s blind war buddy and arms dealer who goes by the self-explanatory nickname of Gunny.

“I will be your weapon sommelier for this evening,” Gunny greets Levon as he shows him around his shed full of Bluetooth-enhanced M14s.
The trailer also shows Statham will be reuniting with his Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels co-star Jason Flemyng, who can be seen at the end of the clip.
A Working Man is an adaptation of 2014 novel Levon’s Trade by Chuck Dixon, best known for his work on Marvel and DC comics.
A Working Man is released in US cinemas on March 28. A UK release date is to be announced.
