As we approach the release of The Beekeeper 2, director Timo Tjahjanto has shared his plans to mold the character of Jason Statham, in this action-packed sequel, similarly to Marvel’s The Punisher. In a recent conversation, the Indonesian filmmaker disclosed that since he hasn’t directed a project centered around Frank Castle yet, he will incorporate the traits of the vengeful mercenary into Statham’s character, Adam Clay, in The Beekeeper 2.
Timo Tjahjanto to turn Jason Statham into his ‘own version of The Punisher’ in The Beekeeper 2
As I chatted with ScreenRant about my upcoming project, Nobody 2, I shared that I felt drawn to helm The Beekeeper series from David Ayer because of its striking resemblance to The Punisher – a character I’ve long admired and can connect with on a personal level as a passionate moviegoer.
Tjahjanto expressed his strong attraction towards the Beekeeper series, stating that it reminded him of Statham portraying his favorite Marvel character, The Punisher. He further mentioned that if he couldn’t create a film featuring The Punisher, he would transform Adam Clay into his own interpretation of the vigilante character.
The filmmaker emphasized the resemblance between Jason Statham’s acting skills and the character of The Punisher, mentioning, “I believe Statham possesses that trait. He has a very stoic, Frank Castle-like quality about him. And I appreciate that Adam Clay is certainly not shy when it comes to picking his methods of violence. He’s incredibly innovative with his use of violence.
Tjahjanto hinted at the grandeur of the antagonists in the upcoming Beekeeper sequel by alluding to their increased size, expressing, “The scale of the villains in this movie is definitely a significant factor that draws me in. So, be prepared for quite a spectacle!
Although Amazon’s MGM Studios has verified that The Beekeeper 2 is being worked on at the moment, they haven’t fixed a specific date for its highly anticipated debut.
