Eddie Peng Set for Hollywood Debut Alongside Jason Statham

Taiwanese heartthrob Eddie Peng is officially venturing into Hollywood, marking a significant milestone in his international acting career.

Peng's move to the international stage comes after reports surfaced that his planned historical epic drama "Mei Ying," co-starring Golden Horse Award winner Xin Zhilei, has been stalled due to funding issues and script review delays. The project, initially slated to begin filming in April, faces an uncertain future, disappointing many fans.

However, Peng's career has taken an upward turn with this new Hollywood opportunity. His studio confirmed the news by reposting foreign media reports, announcing his casting in the upcoming Hollywood action-comedy "Jason Statham Stole My Bike." The film is helmed by acclaimed director David Leitch, known for his work on "Deadpool 2," "The Fall Guy," and "Bullet Train."

The movie is slated for release in North America on August 6, 2027. Peng is set to share the screen with British action superstar Jason Statham, promising a dynamic collaboration. The announcement has generated considerable excitement among fans, who are eager to see Peng make a strong impact on the global cinema scene.
