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. His voice acting work includes the documentaries Thai Boxing: A Fighting Chance (2002), Truth in 24 (2008) and its 2012 sequel, and the animated film Gnomeo & Juliet (2011).

Set a few hours after my last story, Spidey is rescued by Sable International after washing up nearby. When the Sinister Six find out that he's still alive, Adrian Toomes, Mac Gargan and Herman Schulz are sent out to interrogate Peter's loved ones, having blackmailed the recovered Felicia Hardy into giving them his identity. During said interrogation, Toomes accidentally shoots and hospitalises Jean DeWolff. When Spidey finds out whilst recovering at a Sable base, Silvija Sablinova has her team prepare a new suit for him, but an attack on the base forces her team to send them both on a jet back to New York. Together, they attempt to stop the Sinister Six, ultimately being assisted by two of its members... This is based on stories such as Back in Black, Ends of the Earth and Insomniac's Silver Lining. Peter is horrified by the Six's systemic attack against his loved ones, attempting (but ultimately failing) to kill multiple members. Silvija takes a new role in attempting to reason with him like he did with her previously.
