Arthur Bishop returns in ‘Mechanic: Resurrection’
Jason Statham is well-known for his role in action movies, with his most recent coming as Deckard Shaw in Furious 7. Before he reprises his role in the film franchise series next summer in Fast 8, Statham is reprising another role as elite hit man Arthur Bishop in the sequel to the 2011 film The Mechanic.
Mechanic: Resurrection continues the story of Bishop, but many years after its predecessor left off. With his murderous past behind him, Bishop is returning to the life after a foe kidnaps the love of his life, played by Jessica Alba. Statham’s character is tasked with pulling off a impossible mission that will see him assassinating men listed as the most dangerous in the world.
The Dennis Gansel directed film, that also stars Tommy Lee Jones, Michelle Yeoh and Sam Hazeldine, is due out in theaters on August 26.
