Thescreescore – The hive is buzzing with fresh talent! Pom Klementieff, celebrated for her roles in the Guardians of the Galaxy saga and the Mission: Impossible franchise, and Adam Copeland, the wrestling icon known as Edge, are officially joining the cast of The Beekeeper 2. This sequel to the surprise 2024 action hit starring Jason Statham is already generating significant buzz, with filming underway and a potential 2026 release date on the horizon.
Statham will reprise his role as the enigmatic ex-government operative, with returning cast members including Jeremy Irons, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Bobby Naderi, and Jemma Redgrave. Yara Shahidi was previously announced as another fresh face joining the ensemble. While plot details remain tightly under wraps, the addition of Klementieff and Copeland suggests a significant escalation of the stakes. News of their casting comes via Variety.
Given Klementieff’s proven action chops and Copeland’s imposing physicality and acting experience (including a Children’s and Family Emmy nomination for Percy Jackson and the Olympians), speculation is rife that they will be formidable adversaries for Statham’s character. Will they be allies or enemies? Only time will tell, but the possibilities are tantalizing.
