Jason Statham comes face-to-face with his giant inflatable twin for MUTINY

Jason Statham is indulging in some fun promotion for his new film. “MUTINY,” premiering in theaters on August 21, is celebrating its awaited release with giant inflatable scowling Jason Statham that’s stopping in various major cities. 

The real Statham posed alongside his inflatable giant in London, sporting a matching scowl by the River Thames. He wore a cream colored rain jacket, black pants, and his trademark sunglasses. In the background, his inflatable is floating in the river, holding on to a harpoon. 

The inflatable has been visiting numerous emblematic cities. The tour began in London, then New York, then Miami, and it’s now in LA, preparing for the film’s theatrical release. 

Statham teased the inflatable’s tour earlier this month, in a video shared on his Instagram. Addressing the camera directly, Statham is recorded moments before the unveiling of the inflatable in London. “They said, ‘How big do you want it?’ I said, ‘Surprise me. And boy did they do that,” he says. “It’s tiny!”
