“Another movie where Jason Statham plays as Jason Statham”: Fast X Star’s New ‘The Beekeeper’ Trailer Confirms Fan Criticism Even The Rock is Guilty of
Hollywood actors are expected to be like a chameleon, versatile with every project. However, a few A-listers like Dwayne Johnson are accused of playing the same bland character every time. Nonetheless, this time fans added another actor to the list, who is none other than Jason Statham.
Jason Statham
Criticized for playing similar roles in different movies, Jason Statham got on the list, following the trailer release for David Ayer’s The Beekeeper. Slated to release in January 2024, although the movie received appreciation, Statham got slammed by fans and netizens for playing the same character yet again.
Versatility is something that is often expected from actors, after a few years of experience. However, sadly not all actors turn out to be splendid performers, as a few of them become guilty of repeating roles, over and over again. Playing the same bland character, Dwayne Johnson has been accused of being a terrible actor.
Despite being one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson has been accused of playing the same archetype role of a buff action dude. Leaving behind his wrestling career, Johnson navigated into the entertainment industry and earned the position of an A-lister within a few years.
Johnson marketed himself as a charismatic buff hero
But unfortunately, according to fans, the actor failed to improve his acting skills. And thereafter kept on playing the same type of role over and over again in different projects. Despite pairing with interesting co-stars, Johnson became the bland straight man in most movies. But on a positive note, he certainly marketed himself as a charismatic buff hero.
Currently, just like Dwayne Johnson, his Fast & Furious co-star Jason Statham has also been accused of the same mistake. Repeating his roles in most projects, Statham got criticized by fans following the release of his upcoming David Ayer movie The Beekeeper’s trailer. As Discussing Film shared the first trailer of the movie, fans gathered to slam the actor.

Despite being one of the most accomplished action movie stars in Hollywood, fans believe his roles are becoming largely indistinguishable from each other.
