After some delays, Guy Ritchie’s new action-packed comedy, Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre, is finally set to hit theaters. This spy-thriller reunites the director with his longtime collaborator and fan-favorite action movie star, Jason Statham, as the titular super spy. Statham is well-known for portraying suave characters with an abundance of machismo in films like Crank and The Mechanic. He’s also touted his stoicism and gun-wielding prowess in franchises like The Transporter series and The Fast and the Furious alongside Vin Diesel.

In Operation Fortune, Statham is Orson Fortune, a super spy with a distinct set of skills. Fortune, despite his lone wolf M.O., must partner with a highly skilled team of operatives in order to take down Greg Simmonds (played by Hugh Grant), a billionaire arms broker whose new weapons technology poses a threat to the world order. As a means to obtain the information they need to take Simmonds down, the team will employ his favorite movie star, Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett), to take advantage of the proximity Simmonds allows. With the help of his expert team, which also includes Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes and Bugzy Malone, Fortune blackmails the actor into aiding their mission to track down the dealer. High stakes, fast cars, killers on a yacht, and lots and lots of weapons – what could go wrong?

Before Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre’s hits theaters, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with Statham about his latest Ritchie collab. During his interview, Statham discusses the “unusual” process with Ritchie on set, Grant’s talent outside romantic comedies, Plaza’s improvisation skills, and when his next team-up with Ritchie will be. He also clears the air on whom the real chess master is – him or Guy Ritchie – and breaks down a few of his most dangerous stunts from past sets.
