Now has released the first official trailer for Mutiny, which teases an action-packed film for Statham's character, Cole Reed, a Special Forces veteran and former police officer who is determined to find out the truth after being framed for murder.

The trailer kicks off with an introduction of Statham's character, as Cole attempts to save a group of women and children who are locked in a shipping container out at sea. But he's caught and is forced to fight back against the perpetrator.

He then comes across Annabelle Wallis' character, who asks, "Who the f*** are you?" Cole isn't here for pleasantries, and he tells her that their priority should be to "get those people to safety." When the sun rises, Cole realizes they're "about to be short on time" as another vessel arrives.

"Make sure that Cole Reed doesn't get off that ship alive," someone says over the phone. That's the order that appears to change everything as Cole gets "trapped" in the bowels of the ship. While down there, he continues to fend off multiple attackers with guns.

Later, Cole confronts a man, who furiously asks, "What the f*** do you want?" The hero responds, "Vengeance." This leads to several intense shots of car chases and gunfights. The trailer ends with Cole climbing up the side of a ship, and members of the military responding to a distress call warning of an "attack."
