The Beekeeper 2 May Add The Shadow Strays Star for Action-Packed Sequel with Jason Statham

by

The director of “The Beekeeper 2” has hinted at something thrilling for action enthusiasts on social media. In his post, he’s revealed that the upcoming sequel will feature Aurora Ribero, who stars as the lead in “The Shadow Strays.” However, it remains unclear which secretive assassins’ group Ribero will be part of. This could potentially be a continuation of “The Shadow Strays,” or it might mean that Ribero is set to join forces with an action legend in the sequel to “The Beekeeper.

Posting a picture with Ribero, Tjahjanto, and the lead of The Shadow Strays, where they’re all giving a “peace” sign. This suggests that they might be working together again for one of the director’s upcoming sequels. However, considering the caption, which says “The Buzz just getting started,” it seems more likely to be a reference to The Beekeeper 2, given that this could be one of many bee-themed puns expected in the sequel.

Enthusiasts have flocked to social networking sites to express both their thrill and bewilderment, with one user on Twitter commenting, “Trying to figure out if this is a Shadow Stray’s sequel or Beekeeper 2, I’m going crazy.” Another remarks, “It’s tough to predict when there have been multiple ‘2’ titles on the agenda.” It should be mentioned that Tjahjanto is also directing another action follow-up, Nobody 2, which revealed its first trailer a week ago.

Could ‘The Shadow Strays’ Star Join Jason Statham as Another Beekeeper?

Under the direction of David Ayer and scripted by Kurt Wimmer, the film titled “The Beekeeper” was headlined by Jason Statham alongside Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, Bobby Naderi, Minnie Driver, Phylicia Rashad, and Jeremy Irons. The movie made a splash in theaters and streaming platforms last year. Known as the initial installment of “The Beekeeper“, it follows Jason Statham’s character, Adam Clay, who is a simple beekeeper but is actually a retired black ops assassin from an organization called “Beekeepers”. After his sole friend is brutally killed, he sets out on a mission for vengeance.

The action-packed movie starring our favorite action hero was an enormous triumph, earning $152.7 million globally and receiving a thumbs-up of 71% from critics and a resounding 92% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Although it took more time than expected, the sequel has finally been greenlit. Timo Tjahjanto is stepping in for Ayer as director, with Amazon MGM Studios now owning the rights to continue the story.

Details about the upcoming film, “The Beekeeper 2”, are being kept secret. However, introducing Aurora Ribero as another enigmatic assassin alongside Jason Statham would be a brilliant move in this franchise. This could potentially be setting up for “The Shadow Strays 2”, though it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. Released on Netflix last year, “The Shadow Strays” was directed by Timo Tjahjanto and follows the story of Ribero as a 17-year-old assassin known as 13, who embarks on a destructive mission after her young friend is captured. Although a sequel to “The Shadow Strays” hasn’t been officially announced by Netflix, Tjahjanto has hinted at his plans for the sequel, stating that it will draw inspiration from “The Godfather 2”.
