Star of sci-fi
Statham was finally able to break into the Hollywood scene after starring in Snatch. In 2001, he appeared in two successful films: Ghosts of Mars, a sci-fi action horror, and The One, a sci-fi martial arts action picture. Statham delivered an outstanding performance in both parts. It wasn't long before he began receiving requests from filmmakers all around Hollywood. Statham's career began to take off at that point.
The supporting actor
Despite the fact that his career was finally taking off, he was still performing largely supporting roles. From 2002 through 2004, Statham appeared in a variety of films as a supporting actor, including Mean Machine, The Italian Job, and Cellular. By 2005, Ritchie had requested Statham to join him on his third film, Revolver. Jason took on the role, but unfortunately for him and Ritchie, the film received negative reviews and was a box-office flop.
