David Harbour will join Jason Statham in Levon’s Trade, a new thriller from director David Ayer. Michael Peña, Jason Flemyng, and Arianna Rivas have also joined the cast of the film, which is being shot from a script by Sylvester Stallone. Deadline reports that Levon’s Trade is now shooting in London, and is aiming for a January 17, 2025 release date – almost exactly a year after the release of The Beekeeper, the last Ayer/Statham collaboration that buzzed the box office earlier this year.

Based on the first of a series of books by comics writer Chuck Dixon, Levon’s Trade will star Statham as Levon Cade, a former black-ops agent who retired from that shadowy world to raise his daughter. Now a construction worker, Cade is called back into action when his boss’ teenage daughter disappears. Cade will have to call upon all his skills as he traces the college student’s disappearance and uncovers a massive conspiracy that threatens to destroy the new life he’s built for himself. The film was recently acquired by Amazon MGM Studios, who are aiming for a worldwide theatrical release early next year.
