Jason Statham (/ˈsteɪθəm/ STAY-thəm; born 26 July 1967) is an English actor and producer. He is known for portraying tough, gritty, or violent characters in various action thriller films and has been credited for leading the resurgence of action films during the 2000s and 2010s. By 2017, his films had grossed over £1.1 billion ($1.5 billion), making him one of the industry's most bankable stars. While working at local market stalls, Statham began practising Chinese martial arts, kickboxing, and karate recreationally in his youth. An avid footballer and diver, he was a member of Britain's national diving team and competed for England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Shortly after, he was asked to model for French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, and Levi's in various advertising campaigns. Statham's history of working at market stalls inspired his casting in the Guy Ritchie crime films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000). Both films were commercial hits, and they helped catapult Statham to stardom. He played supporting roles in the American action films Turn It Up (2000), Ghosts of Mars and The One (2001). From 2002 to 2008, he played the title role in the first three films in the Transporter film series (2002–2008), which solidified his status as an action star. In 2003, he appeared in the ensemble heist action film The Italian Job. He went on to play leading roles in the commercially successful films Crank (2006), The Bank Job (2008), The Mechanic (2011), Homefront (2013), Mechanic: Resurrection (2016), The Meg (2018), Wrath of Man (2021), Meg 2: The Trench (2023), and The Beekeeper (2024). Statham has also starred as Lee Christmas in the ensemble action film series The Expendables (2010–2023) and as Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious franchise (2013–2023), including the spin-off Hobbs & Shaw (2019), which he co-produced.

[Read my first story first through searching my profile] Set towards the end of Peter's second year at university, in summer 2027, acclaimed alumnus Alison Smythe returns to New York from the West Coast, posing as an innocent entrepreneur whose work Peter admires whilst she secretly plots the usurpation of her estranged father Spencer as CEO of Roxxon Corporation. Alison's criminal activities are first brought to Peter's attention by the mysterious Black Cat, who helps Peter uncover Alison's alliance with the notorious Lonnie Lincoln in order to secure their hold on Roxxon and the surrounding criminal underworld. Throughout the film, Alison and Lonnie place multiple hits on Spencer, finally succeding upon forming the Sinister Six in the climax when Spider-Man and Black Cat thwart every other attempt; Peter is left in a river to die. The film explores themes of maturity, wherein Peter has adopted responsibility but is too uptight, Felicia knows how to enjoy life but lacks Peter's responsibility, Lonnie intimidates people (including NYPD officer Jefferson Davis) into getting what he wants, and Carol is an obsessive perfectionist and completionist.
