The film, which co-stars Peaky Blinders’ Annabelle Wallis, focuses on a man called Cole Reed who witnesses the murder of his billionaire industrialist boss.
With everyone pointing the finger at him, Reed goes on the run and tries to prove his innocence, while also exposing an international criminal conspiracy.
A first look still has now been released, showing Statham in character with his back to the wall while holding a gun.
Mutiny has been directed by Plane’s Jean-François Richet, with Lindsay Michel and JP Davis writing the screenplay.
Earlier this year, Statham starred in The Beekeeper, which follows an ex-special operative who leads a quiet life as a beekeeper. However, this is upended when a friend is targeted by a phishing scam and dies by suicide.
The movie earned a 71% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, the critical consensus calling it “cheerfully undemanding and enjoyably retrograde”.
“The Beekeeper proves that when it comes to dispensing action-thriller justice, Statham hasn’t lost his sting,” it adds.
In Digital Spy’s three-star verdict, we said: “Sure, you could criticise several aspects of The Beekeeper, but there’s no way you’re watching this movie expecting something different to what you’re given. It might not be a great movie exactly, but you’ll be buzzing to see Jason Statham back doing what he does best.”
Meanwhile, Statham is set to reunite with Expendables co-star Sylvester Stallone in new action movie Levon’s Trade, which will be directed by Suicide Squad’s David Ayer.
