The new Jason Statham action film, "Mutiny," has opened in U.S. movie theaters on Friday, August 21, 2026. Directed by Jean-François Richet and written by Lindsay Michel and J. P. Davis, the movie features Statham as Cole Reed, a private bodyguard falsely accused of a crime.
Reed's quest to clear his name takes him aboard a container ship at sea. The film also stars Annabelle Wallis, Adrian Lester, Jason Wong, and Roland Møller.
For the immediate future, "Mutiny" is only available for viewing in theaters. While a specific release date for digital purchase or rental has not been announced, Lionsgate, the film's distributor, has an output deal with Amazon Prime Video. This arrangement typically means Lionsgate films become available for purchase and rental on Prime Video after their theatrical run. The movie is also expected to eventually stream on Prime Video for subscribers after its initial theatrical window closes, which is traditionally around four months after release. For "Mutiny," this could mean a streaming debut in late December 2026.
"Mutiny" is not currently available on Netflix, and is unlikely to appear there soon, as Lionsgate's output deals do not include Netflix. The film may also appear on Starz, as Lionsgate has an extended deal with the platform. If it follows a similar pattern to other Lionsgate releases, it could be available on Starz around late December 2026 or early January 2027.
However, release patterns for Lionsgate films have varied. Another recent Lionsgate movie, "Greenland 2: Migration," was released on HBO Max rather than Starz or Prime Video. This makes the exact streaming strategy for "Mutiny" unclear beyond its theatrical debut. Interested viewers who wish to see the film immediately are advised to attend a theatrical screening.
