Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie reunite for Netflix action thriller Dogfight
Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie are teaming up again for Netflix's new film "Dogfight", described as a stylish revenge action thriller set in London's criminal underworld.
Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie are working together again. Netflix has announced a new film, "Dogfight", the seventh collaboration between the director and the actor, which will be a stylish revenge action thriller shot in London's criminal milieu. Ritchie wrote, directed and produced the film, and Statham will star in the lead role.
Deadline reports that production is set to begin in early 2027, with filming taking place in the United Kingdom. Production companies attached to the project include Black Bear, Toff Guy Films and Punch Palace. Alongside Ritchie, Statham and Ewen Atkinson, among other team members, are also producing. Netflix describes the film as a "stylish revenge action thriller", but plot details have not yet been disclosed.
Variety notes that the partnership between Statham and Ritchie extends to a seventh film. The outlet points out that audiences can expect elements familiar to the genre, including weapons, violence and hard-edged characters, though these assumptions are not confirmed by the studio announcement. Netflix has not yet named other actors, writers or an exact release date.
Statham and Ritchie have worked together since Ritchie's debut film "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" in the late nineties. Their partnership continued with "The Bank Job" and "Snatch", which cemented their reputation as one of the most recognizable pairings in British genre cinema. The new project continues this line, but marks their first collaboration on the Netflix platform.
The announcement is part of a broader trend: streaming services are increasingly investing in big-budget action films with well-known stars that previously would typically have been released in cinemas. For Netflix, Statham and Ritchie's involvement is a notable step in expanding its genre catalogue. For viewers, it offers a chance to see the familiar style of British action, with its distinctive London aesthetic and a director and actor proven in the genre.
