British film star Jason Statham is set to return to Malta to shoot a new action comedy.

Jason Statham Stole My Bike is shooting in the UK and Malta, with David Leitch directing and Statham playing a fictionalised version of himself.

The film was written by Alison Flieri and Scott Chernoff and plot details have been kept under wraps so far.

According to ScreenDaily.com, production house Black Bear has budgeted around $80 million for this film, which is set to be released in North America in August 2027.

Jason Statham is no stranger to Malta, having visited in recent years to shoot Viva La Madness and Mutiny.
