The first trailer for The Beekeeper 2 is out. Amazon MGM Studios released it on Thursday, October 15, and the film opens in theaters on January 15, 2027, according to Collider and ComingSoon. Jason Statham returns as Adam Clay.
The trailer sets up Clay as a wanted man whose former organization, the Beekeepers, has gone rogue, according to Collider. He must protect the U.S. President from his former colleagues. ComingSoon says the footage opens with Statham beside a fire as a bee lands on his fingers, and shows him driving a 1969 Dodge Super Bee fitted with a stinger. It ends with a flamethrower fight and Clay's line, “Next time, don't be so hotheaded.”
Timo Tjahjanto, who directed Nobody 2, replaces David Ayer as director. Jeremy Irons returns as Wallace Westwyld, and Emmy Raver-Lampman, Bobby Naderi and Jemma Redgrave also reprise their roles. New cast members include Pom Klementieff, Yara Shahidi and Adam Copeland.
Amazon MGM Studios handles the theatrical release, and Dark Horizons reports that Miramax finances and produces the film. It opens on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, three years after the 2024 original.
