Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie Reunite for Netflix Revenge Thriller Dogfight

Netflix has announced that Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie will reunite for their seventh film together, a London-set revenge thriller titled Dogfight. The streamer confirmed the project on 3 November 2026, saying Ritchie will write, direct and produce, while Statham stars.

The reunion is the latest chapter in one of the most recognisable partnerships in British genre cinema.

A Partnership Built on London Crime

The pair’s collaboration began with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998, which made Statham a breakout presence in British gangster cinema. Their work together since then has included Snatch, Revolver, Wrath of Man and Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre.

Those films share a focus on the criminal underworld and a stylised approach to action and dialogue. Dogfight continues that tradition, with Netflix describing it as a “stylish revenge actioner set in the London criminal underworld.”

The Story So Far

The announcement did not include a plot summary, and no co-stars have been named. What is known is the basic premise, the London setting and the revenge theme that Netflix has described.

Several members of the creative team have worked on the duo’s recent projects, with Ritchie writing, directing and producing.

Who Is Involved

Ritchie will write, direct and produce the film, alongside fellow producers Statham, Ivan Atkinson of Toff Guy Films and John Friedberg of Black Bear. Statham will produce through his company, Punch Palace Productions.

Black Bear, which has backed several of Ritchie’s recent films, is one of the three production companies on the project. The involvement of Black Bear suggests a continuing working relationship between the director and the studio.

Their Recent Projects

The sixth Statham and Ritchie collaboration, Viva La Madness, has already wrapped and is in post-production. Statham developed the film for Punch Palace, and Ritchie co-wrote the script with Connolly, according to Deadline. The film also reunites the pair with Vinnie Jones, and it still has no confirmed release date.

Ritchie also has Wife & Dog, an action thriller about the British aristocracy starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Rosamund Pike and Anthony Hopkins. It is scheduled for release on 19 February 2027, and Ritchie wrote and directed it.

Statham’s own pipeline for 2027 includes The Beekeeper 2 and the meta action comedy Jason Statham Stole My Bike.

Netflix’s Role

Netflix is backing the project with a director and star who have a long track record in the genre.

Production Plans

Production is expected to begin in the UK in early 2027. Reports have not yet confirmed a release date or the full cast, so the next announcements are likely to focus on those details.

What Comes Next

With production planned for early 2027, the next steps will be casting announcements, a formal start date and a release window. Netflix has not yet shared those details, and further updates are likely as filming approaches.

For Statham, Dogfight adds another project to a busy schedule. For Ritchie, it continues a partnership that has produced some of his best-known work.
