The Expendables stars Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone will reunite for the upcoming action movie, Levon’s Trade. But rather than share the screen, the project will instead see Statham in front of the camera with Stallone having written the script, which follows the Fast X star as a construction worker who is, you guessed it, really a former black-ops agent. If that were not already enough to get your testosterone levels rising, Levon’s Trade will also see Statham team up once again with The Beekeeper director David Ayer.
Levon’s Trade will follow Statham as Levon Cade, who has left his “profession” behind and become a construction worker in order to leave the violence and secrets behind. Check out more plot details below courtesy of Deadline:
“He wants to live a simple life and be a good father to his daughter. But when his boss’s teenage daughter Jenny vanishes, he’s called upon to re-employ the skills that made him a legendary figure in the shadowy world of black ops. His hunt for the missing college student takes him deep into the heart of a sinister criminal conspiracy creating a chain reaction that will threaten his new way of life.”
The action movie sees Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone return to writing following 2018’s Creed II and 2019’s Rambo: Last Blood, with the action icon having recently passed The Expendables torch to Statham in the recent sequel, Expend4bles. Levon’s Trade is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by comic author Chuck Dixon, with Stallone, Statham, and Ayer no doubt hoping to spawn a new franchise.
Statham was attached to the project prior to the ongoing strike, with filming on Levon’s Trade is looking to start in March 2024 in London.
