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).

A magia há muito abandonou Adarlan. Um perverso rei governa de seu trono de vidro, punindo impiedosamente as minorias rebeldes, quando uma assassina chega ao castelo. Depois de cometer um erro e ser capturada, ela se torna prisioneira nas minas de sal de Endovier, onde a tortura prevalece e ninguém sobrevive. No lugar de resistir à sentença de morte iminente, a assassina de Adarlan aceita uma proposta: representar o príncipe em uma competição com os melhores guerreiros do reino. Mas ela não diz sim para matar, quer sua liberdade de volta. Se derrotar os 23 assassinos, ladrões e soldados, será a campeã do rei e estará livre depois de servi-lo por alguns anos. Seu nome é Celaena Sardothien. O príncipe herdeiro vai provocá-la, o capitão da guarda fará tudo para protegê-la. E uma princesa de terras distantes se tornará algo que Celaena jamais pensou ter novamente: uma amiga. Mas algo maligno habita o castelo — e está ali para matar. Quando os demais competidores começam a morrer, um a um e de maneira horrível, Celaena se vê mais uma vez envolvida em uma batalha pela sobrevivência e inicia uma jornada desdesperada para desvendar a origem daquele mal antes que ele destrua o mundo dela. E sua única chance de ser livre.
